I do all my polishing and sealants myself. Im not sure that the products are more corrosive than the crap that covers our cars on a daily basis..I will be using mine all winter and that includes on the salty roads.

None of my newer cars (Last 30 years) have never seen a car wash. Always hand washed using the 2 bucket method, car squeegeed (Never chamois) and then carnuba was. The 15 year old TT I sold in August to buy the Z didn’t have a swirl mark on it.

You let some one else near your Zed with a mucky sponge.
I would rather fix the toilet seat.
