What does polishing do?

It removes a fine layer of clear coat to level out swirls, scratches and oxidation, which restores gloss and clarity. It is correction, not just shine, so it fixes the paint rather than hiding it.

Can I polish by hand or do I need a machine?

Light work is possible by hand, but a machine does it better, faster and more evenly. For real swirl removal, a dual action polisher is the practical starting point.

How often should I polish?

Rarely. You are removing clear coat each time, so polish only when the paint needs correcting, then protect it and maintain with safe washing. Once every year or two suits most cars.
