clar bar or polish?

Why do you want to clay bar a Clear Coat? You never touch the paint. It is under the Clear Coat. Or am I wrong?

You are reading too hard into it. The way everyone is talking is you got outside and touch your cars body. That's the paint. Yes you are technically touching clear coat but we call it paint. I think our cars are single stage paint anyways, most car paints are.

I clay my car couple times a year. Wash your car good, actually hand wash it. Brushless washes don't get all the dirt off your car and you dont want to have dirt between your clay bar and your paint. I then apply a polish, not a wax sealed. Polish is my world is an abrasive wax that polishes out slight scratches. Then I put a nice sealer wax on.
