Do I need to polish my car before waxing it to protect the paintwork?
I have a 2011 Peugeot 508 SW. The paint work is still in good condition and has a fair amount of shine still. I'd really like to enhance the shine, bringing it as close as I could back to its original shine but at the same time protecting it from the elements. I have been reading various reviews and looking at purchasing the Soft99 Fusso Coat wax, but if I'm right I'd need to purchase something like the Autoglym Super Resin Polish to polish the car before applying the wax. Is this correct?

You need a paint cleaner first. Autoglym does one. That's what I use, then follow it up with Autoglym High Def wax.
