      After you polish a car you need to wax or seal it , unless its fresh paint. But I do love fixing body shop buff jobs... Newbs Leaving swirls, holograms,fish-tails, sanding marks, compund in the cracks... If you work at a body shop you should know what I mean. Very few do a decent job. im sure the reason is that it may take days to wet sand and buff , polish to make a car perfect..

        well i guess ive only done freshly painted vehicles and a few scratches on friends cars. and well I geuss I wet sanded with 3000 my whole car the buffed and polished it and it looks really good took out almost all imperfections. and as for the compound getting all over that's what the detail/recon place is for cleaning the vehicle we fix. It then goes to them to clean and make it look good. And as for swirls and some LITTLE sanding marks/dull spots sometimes u miss them when u have half a car that needs to be cutt buffed, polished and throw back together than to recon to be detailed and back to the owner that day lol.
