Winterizing My Sled...
Note: I posted this in Wash & Wax first, but wanted to broaden it's exposure...
Looking to get my car ready for another crappy New England winter. We already have 8 inches of snow forecast for tomorrow, so I'm a little late in doing this. Now that the temperatures are cold outside, I can no longer do the work myself. There's this place in town that seems to have a good reputation and he sounded like he knew his stuff on the phone. His best protective treatment involves 3 coats of hand polish followed by using a paint sealant. This treatment is supposed to be a once a year type thing and should withstand many washings, etc. Being basically an ignorant person, I thought that polishes were bad for cars with clear coats. He assures me that the polishes they use will not hurt clear coats and that his process will condition the paint such that it won't dry out in winter weather, etc. Does this sound like correct info to you guys? Any help would be appreciated...

Polishes wont hurt the finish. they baisically do just that, they polish and smooth it out even more making the finish smoother. then if a good wax is applied its a great finish and shine.
