I use only Hi Temp Light Cut on newer cars with clear coat w/ minimal damage. You should wait a few months before polishing, glazing, waxing, or sealing new paint(not including a NEW CAR) Where can you find Hi Temp since it's not available in store?

Not sure if you know the difference but some one may not.
Polish is *usually the first chemical used in a multi step process, unless the paint is real bad compounding/wet sanding will be done first. Polish removes the top layer of paint/clear coat with abbrasives to make it shine. Glaze fills in any micro scratches left from polishing, also brings depth/wet look to paint. Neither polish or glaze protects paint. Real wax does very little to the shine because the focus is on paint protection. Wax is old school, even the best only last for a month or so. Paint sealant on the other hand can protect up to a year, some companies claim years that's all BS! Sealant also does't produce a shine. Machine(high speed) polishing should only be done 1-2 times per year, doing it by hand or orbital buffer is ok every month if you'd like.
3 chemicals I recommend from Hi Temp

Hi Temp also has a spray sealant(Poly Spray) that I used after every wash to keep that great shine. Been detailing cars for over 10yrs, that makes me feel old even though I'm 25 . . . . .
