Hi Simon

Good, simple explanation. Its something that has puzzled me for some time.

Now the more questions

-can/should you use both together? I assume that you should use the polish rarely as it removes a small amount of paint.
- how does the polish work with modern car paint as there is a clear lacquer top coat on most cars
