I'm new to claying....when I bought my car last year, the dealer included a paint protectant so "that you never have to wax again" so they say...anyways I was wondering by claying does his mess up this paint protectant in anyway? thanks for any help

 

Clay is abrasive and designed to remove bonded contamination from the paint surface and used with a polish will remove previously applied forms of paint protection. You may want to read what the warranty/guarantee covers and if using an abrasive material voids it. The protectant they used is probably a polymer sealant and you would have to go back to them for an annual application (or something to that effect). You should have gotten a monthly maintenance kit you use once a month to gloss it and extend it's protective capabilities.
