Zach,
I love your work and your posts! A quick question... on a non-correction job like this, do you have a problem with clay-induced marring? I am still a newbie, but I have discovered the importance of claying to the final result. While I plan on polishing my vehicle twice a year I like to redo the LSP much more frequently. I am concerned that if I clay and skip polishing (even a ultra fine polish), I will leave behind fine scratches. Does a good glaze have enough filler to hide the clay-induced marring?

Thanks... This thread is quite old. Not sure how it got brought back to life lol
Thanks for the kind words. In general, if found that fine grade clay is relatively gentle and can leave no marring behind (nano skin or synthetic clay can leave light marring more often), however using a glaze on a par that has some cut to it (like a white polishing pad) can be enough to remove the very very light marring.
In general, I doubt you are going to need to clay as frequently as you mentioned applying lsp, so I would not mess with it unless the paint is particularly contaminated. If you polish the car twice a year, simply perform the necessary decon steps prior to polishing.
