What if you dont clay the car?
I was thinking today, what if i didnt clay the car? I did it once in march and was thinking about doing it again now for winter. But would i get any damage to my paint if i didnt clay it but still added polish and wax for the winter season?
Ill still clay but i was just curious about this

You probably wouldn't get any significant damage to your paint if you didn't clay. It all depends on how good you want your car to look and how much work you're willing to put into it. I like claying because it makes the paint feel so much smoother and I do think it improves the clarity of the finish after polishing and waxing.
