most likely buddy. i'll let you know for sure later in the week. if your going through the work of claying most/all of the car, it might be worth it to just do a quick machine glaze pass with the PC. we can talk more about it tho. you also don't HAVE to polish after claying if there are just certain spots that you want to clay. and you have the option of just using some hand glaze.

my understanding is polish will help on older paint where you have a lot of swirls and whatnot. glaze works for newer paint and will give the wax a deeper glossier look.

i used some meguiars gold class glaze on my car after claybar and then used some of the p21s 100% carnuaba wax and it looks like it's wet because it's so glossy.

the p21s is expensive, but completely worth it. some of the easiest wax to use and it looks fantastic. for a cheaper alternative try the 3m paste. it's synthetic so it should last longer but probably not as glossy.

I am definitely happy with the NXT gen 2 wax. I still want to try the mother pure carnuaba when this runs out. Its everything else i dont really know whats going on. Polish, glaze, i dont really get it all.

your pretty much right about glaze/polish.

glaze is more of a final step to give the paint that real shine. glaze wont really do any correction. polish cuts and does correction (removes swirls/light scratches). that being said, there are all sorts of different types of polishes... some more or less aggressive.

i picked up my mods today!!! sexy time!!!
