nope the paint is still relatively new (only 6 months old) and i clayed it about 3 months ago.
The reason is that i have the OB color and a lot of swirl marks on it. So i would like to use a P/C to get rid of it. thought i should ask the experts (this will be my first time using a P/C) before i get down to it.
so just wash it and go to polish right?

your hands over the surface is it smooth? Is your car parked in a garage at
night or left on the street? If the surface isn't smooth it needs to be clayed
then waxed and keep it in the garage at night if possible.

As far as polishing. A 6 month old car probably doesn't need much of a polish if at all.

The condition of Infiniti paint has less to do with age than with the type of care used used when washing and keeping it clean. I can understand how some 6 month old cars have lots of scratches in them with the soft paint. Mine did and I'm very careful.
