dont have to wait after polish.
most glazes dont cure either.
and each sealant has different cure time. which one are you going to use?
btw, you prob dont need a glaze if you are polishing--

I'll be using Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant 3.0 and the P21S afterward for wax.
Do you think glaze, sealant, and wax are easy to apply by hand with microfiber pad?
I will be ordering PC soon but in the mean time I want to do it by hand.

the sealant and wax are fine by hand... some guys prefer this-
i promise that you do not want to do a polish job by hand, not even on our small cars. been there done that- my arms, wrists and hand felt like they were gonna fall off during, after and the next day.
polishing is completely diff process- its not a wipe on and wipe off. its a put it on and work the heck outta it (until it dusts with most of them). its the working the heck outta it that will get you. you can do it, but better have lots of hard liquor helping out !!

If you have a buffer on the way I would hold off on polishing the car for now. You'll get far better results with far less effort using the buffer vs. polishing by hand.
I would also advise not to bother with the glaze. If you're using a sealant many of them don't like to bond on glazed paint.

Thank you for the advice guys. I have one more question. How long do I have to wait after applying Wolfgang deep gloss sealant 3.0 before applying the P21s wax?
