It has several rock chips. At what point in the process do I paint over the chips?

There is a slight bit of orange peal on it as just about every factory car. Will paint correction take care of that? It is a silver car and I think I will be limited on how shiny I can get it. I don't mind going through all the steps of polishing if it will make a difference, but I am wondering if the amount of effort will be noticeable on a silver car.

Why is it necessary to use correction polish on a new car? There are no swirl marks on it.

I have a 10 year old car that has never had any treatment other than a car wash now and then. What do I need to do to it? Should I polish it? Clay bar first? Wax or seal? Please specify products/procedures and in what order. I have a Dynabrade D/A sander. I am thinking about getting the backer plate and pads, but not sure which ones and which products. The car has been garaged every night so it is not in terrible shape, but the front of it has a lot of nics in the paint from rocks and etc.

I have a new car and I want some advice on what I should use to keep it new and shiny. What are the products/procedures you should use on a new car? For example, at what point should I use a clay bar? Then do I wax it or just use H2O guard and gloss? Basically what should I be doing besides washing it on a regular basis?
