Imagine how many swirls I have on my Jet Black, only way to get rid of 'em is the 3 stage but I'm not doing that until I've owned it for at least 1.5 years..

Note - M3's come with about a 4 micron layering of clear coat.. Each 3 stage polish will remove about 1.25/1.50 microns, so if you want to lose that after owning it for just a week, then go for it but many would advise against it.
Thanks for the advice. A simple wax it will be!
