> [@jph102900"](#): > > Zach, how much of a difference would the polishing stage really make on a newer car? I have an 07 that is garaged about 50% of the year (we have a one car garage). I claybar it a couple times a year and wax it about once a month with meguiars nxt. When I am done it is smooth like glass and has a deep shine. If i went out and got a porter cable and some pads and polish and added that step along with a sealant or glaze, will I see much of a difference? Seems like that might be something that only really helps on an older car with faded or oxidized paint. If you have any noticeable swirls or _light_ scratches, it could help. It could just add some depth as well as help with any swirls. > [@Donald Trump a cheapskate?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/donald-trump-a-cheapskate/39871/3): > > any tips for white paint? I’ve used Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover to get the yellow/dark spots out before but it really takes the gloss off the finish. > > Also, there is something around my door handle, I thought it was egg yoke at first, it’s yellow and I was able to get most of it off but there are some spots around the door handle I cannot get to with enough pressure to really scrub it off. It’s deep into the paint i think. Still no idea what it is. Just noticed one day picking up the girls in South Side Did you try claybarring the problem areas? If not, give it a shot. If it was indeed egg, it’s not going anywhere unless buffed with a rotary, and even then it’s questionable. Egg eats paint. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/detailing-information-for-noobs/202221)._
