I spent several hours last weekend going over the car with Meguiars Ultimate Compound (by hand) and a clay bar. I have Meguiar's Ultimate Polish and their carnuba wax, but wasn't sure if I need to polish the paint before applying the wax. I'll have to wash it again before waxing it as it's my wife's daily driver. What are everyone's thoughts on the need to polish if I've already done the 1st 2 steps?
