heck .. I ain't bashful..
in a nutshell ..
more paint protection = easier to clean. sealant + carnuaba =
easier to clean = paint cleaner instead of polish for surface contaminants
paint cleaner instead of polish = happier clear coat
happier clear coat = better looking finish
general rule of thumb .. always use the least aggressive method possible ..
polishing every three months isn't the least agressive method possible in almost all cases.

Probably for the better... we're contemplating moving and all of my 'free' time at work seems to be utilized within a house search/house sell frame of mind.
