1. Once a year, thorough detail
a. Wash car with 2 Bucket + Microfiber, use a bit more concetrated soap to strip off old waxes and sealants.
b. Claybar Car
c. Rewash car to remove Clay Lubricant
d. Inspect Paint for defects
e. Fix defects with a Dual Action Polisher and Product System
f. When satisfied, apply a paint sealant and allow to harden on the paint.
g. When finished apply wax.

2. Not so thorough detail
a. Dual Bucket wash as above but with less concetrate of soap.
b. If you have any more major defects you wish to fix, use the same steps as above but only to the isolated area.

Each paint sealant will say on the bottle/tub how long it will last between applications.

etc

Also i have a white 4wd which does have a few clear coat scretches/battle wounds. Is the cut+polish good for that sort of stuff? If so any particular brand?

Cut and polish will only work if the damage is to the clear only. Might get lucky and be able to minimize/hide it if its any lower using wax to even out the surface level.

All i know is if i use cut+polish to make sure to protect it later with wax Yep as you dont have clear coat on that area.
