Ok so yesterday i clayed my car and used seal and glaze on it....and didnt have time to polish it, so here is my question.

Can i polish it this weeked?? will i have to clay it again???
Do i always have to clay and polish at once???

If you polish you'll have to strip off the sealant and glaze and then reapply both after you polish. If you want your car 100% perfect and you have the time, then claying again would probably be a good idea. You should always clay before you polish as to not polish grit into your paint. I believe most people polish once or twice a year at most.

Really you wasted your time sealing and glazing if you were planning on polishing soon.

Read this sticky, it has lots of good info and answers...

Maybe the car is new? You don't know if your car is new or not? JK.

The link I posted for you has most of your answer and the guy who posted it buys most of his stuff from CT.

Alot of people use Menzerna 106 on a white LCC pad for minor swirling.

cause I can't seems to find any machince polish at CT, so i was just wondering are they the same as just polish?

If you clayed it within the last week there is no reason to clay it again, just do a good wash and then polish and apply sealant/wax again.

The one in the link you posted is probably the best thing you'll be able to find at CT for your job, and yes I believe most of those polishes will work with electric buffers, but you'll see much much better results ordering some good polish and pads online.

And I agree with Phanton, probably don't need to clay. Just depends how anal you are about it.
