    PBs S&W and S&G

    After applying 3 coats of UPP, is there a need to use PBs Spray and Wash prior to Spray and Gloss if the car really isn't dirty. If I understand the intent of the 2 products, S&W is used more for when the car is actually dirty while S&G is more of a detailer/gloss enhancer spray?
