As far as the buffing is concerned, i try to not rub the paint too much or with any kind of force unless the paint is absolutely contaminate free (just clayed)

If you don't want to wax the clear bra then I would recommend using Plexus which was made for Ventureshield to clean it and it will shine up just fine.
The Clear bra has wolfgang sealant on it

This makes sense. i haven't polished the car since i had it detailed the day after i bought it. they clayed, polished the whole car and did the clear bra, then applied wolfgang paint sealant, which they said should last me a few months (detail was done in may)

i haven't polished the car since then because i haven't done a full detail. i figured i would detail it before winter and then apply a fresh layer of sealant to help protect the paint from all the salt and grime it would be subjected too, despite being frequently washed during the winter. i awas under the impression that i should have a contaminate free surface, ie have clayed the car/area, before any kind of polish is applied in order to avoid grinding any of those contaminates into the paint. if i am mistaken, i wouldn't mind polishing the car periodically and applying some more sealant without claying. is my understanding correct or am i mistaken? I appreciate your input!
