Polishing a car with Paintshield

[whj]

I have Paintshield protective film applied to the front end of my car. It is the type of film that is die-cut just short of the panel edges rather than the wrap around type.
When I apply polish I get polish residue along all the edges, like a chalky white line.

Is there a way around this? FYI I use AutoGlym Super Resin Polish.

Also unless I polish it weekly, the protective film goes milky, or opaque, and the underlyine blue paintwork is a distinctly different colour from the doors.

ANy comments or suggestions would be gratefully received.

I have similer on my bike and no issues. But you should not need to wax the car every week. might be a problem.

Change your wax to a non chalky variety.......but mainly avoid the edges.You can get a soft bristle brush and gentle brush the residue off but its best to avoid it if possible.

I would recommend Dodo Juice or similar.

Any wax based product rather than polish type product will be a vast improvement on what you are using, which is wasting your time in too-regular reappplication, not making the car look good and leaving too much residue.
Whatever product you use, try wiping it on in a motion from the film to the bodywork, which gives less opportunity for product to get pushed into the edge of the film.

So Autoglym super resin is ok to use on the film? No petro-distillate problems??
