Raining Season Coming. Wax? Or Wait

Well winter is coming, and here we get some rain.

I am wondering should I detail my car, do some clay bar, polisher, wax? Or is it point less because the rain is going to mess it up?

yes you should wax it or seal it or both. more protection on car the better protection from elements you would get, plus all those leaves gona be falling on car and leaving marks, should easier removal of those marks with layer on protection on it. you dont have to buff the car but as long as there is good amount of protection on it to get you through the winter. in spring you can buff it.

but I'd do the claybar as well anyways. Did it on my car a couple of months ago, and they weren't exaggerating when they said it feels like a baby's butt.

Technically it feels like a baby's butt with the texture of an orange, but I digress. Plus, it's easier to apply wax after.

Yes I have claybared my car once and waxed... it does feel very smooth... like the skin of a virgin.

It's not pointless..doing all the above and laying down a nice protection will help water bead off better.
