just googled this.. interesting. Does it require a paint correction prior?
That's a complex question, but in short, no, unless you think the car really needs it.

If you're going to apply it yourself, I'd wash the car with dish soap and Foam to strip any previous waxes away. If it needs a clay bar, nows the time. Afterwords, apply Reflex, then Skin, and top it all off with creme is you really want a wet look.

Once you've done this, washes afterwords will be a breeze. I apply Reflex once a year and skin about once every other month. But really you can just wash the car and dry it with Hydrate and you'll be good. Takes a half hour tops.
