today it was gusting around 30mph here and It still amazes me that they still cling and don't blow away. the only thing I would worry about is getting glass cleaner on the pit before polishing it maybe Brent can chime in to let us know if that could cause a problem.
Personally I will continue to polish first, then use the glass cleaner and wipe away the shavings and clean the glass. The glass cleaner won't hurt the unpolished pit, but since you will have to clean the glass last anyway, polishing first may save a few seconds of time. I don't like using paper towels so a quick shake of the rag drops all of the damp shavings to the ground so I can finish cleaning the glass. It's a bit harder to shake out a paper towel, but then again it's easy enough to grab a new one.

A lot of technicians don't use pit polish, or even pit resin for that matter, but I think those are important steps to get the completed windshield repair looking it's best.
