Default Polish After Using Clay Bar?

Used a Clay Bar for the first time over the weekend and was very very pleased with the results. Now after this process do you need to apply a coat of polish atall to seal it in? Didn't really say on the instructions, this was using the Meguiars Clay Bar Set.

If its a mild clay then chances are it wont have left any marring, although its recomended to give the car a light polish anyways.

Then the order you should go is glaze/seal then wax, if you want to do all these steps that is

I haven't used any polish as yet, but I normally us Megiuars NXT Generation Polish, I'm guessing this will be fine, as its always been easy to use and gave good results, so should be even better after the Claying

Not into just yet with all these paint cleaners/paint feeders whether thats right or wrong I don't know.

do you mean NXT Tech wax?

This is actually a sealant but Megs market it as a wax, it also contains mild fillers hence why it darkens the paint a bit
