if we do not polish, but only wax; and polish every year or 2 years, would that work to keep the shine of my car? i keep it under the roof most times when parked

Polish only when there are water spots / grime / road tar that can't remove with normal washing.

Wax is one layer of shine that will fade away 2-3months.

If your car is always parked indoor, don't have polish frequently as watermark won't build up cuz no rainwater

Btw PPF is meant to protect from stone chips, your front bumper gonna have lots of tiny dots after driven 1year.

Frequent polish is not a concern. Problem is almost 90% of detailing/car wash shop in Malaysia doing roti canai job. All they knew is putting polish cream in the rotary sponge and turn it on putting pressure on your car and let it spin spin spin. FYI my car is VW which supposed to have thicker clear coat compare to cheaper national car, yet my paint already faded after 4 visits for polishing job outside due to "overpolishing"

There are many grades of polish.
Some are corrosive, some aren't abrasive while some are abrasive

Bangla don't know the difference.
