    Claying shouldn't leave scratches, just use lots of lube. I suggest you wax or seal after though.
    They say a man looks after himself the same way he looks after his car.

    Should be no need to polish after claying, just apply a coat of wax. Clay shouldn't leave scratches. You could get some marring, but again you may not.
