Detailing non-clearcoated surfaces

[Steveinnorthglenn]

Hello!

Quick question. I’m detailing my car. Is it acceptable to use polish on the non-clearcoated, but painted crevices of the car?

 

I’m looking at my boot lid and gutter. The paint is not clear coated, but I want to protect it with a treatment. The only product I have on-hand is Buttery Wax, ceramic spray, compound, and polish. I’m trying to decide how crazy I need to get with these non-clearcoated surfaces. My hunch is that wax is acceptable, though maybe pointless, and polish is not recommended. 
 

How do detailers treat these areas? See pic attached.

Normally I just wipe them with detail spray to clean them as part of the drying process. Never tried to polish or wax them and honestly you would need a hand polish since you won’t fit a polisher in those areas.

Thanks for the reply! I polished the jambs where there was clearcoat with the micro polisher, polish, and the rotary head. I did what you suggested and wiped the non-clear coated areas with detailer spray and a clay bar, but no polish. Then I used spray ceramic coating on all surfaces. We’ll see how it goes!
