Re: Does a new car need to be clayed?
for me if it needs any kinda of polish work it NEEDS clay! This is my opinion and the rule of thumb that I follow.

You should have sprayed some Iron X and watched it bleed.

Re: Does a new car need to be clayed?
I'd be surprised to find even a new car with no surface contaminants. If you plan on polishing at all...always clay.

Sometimes new cars need paint corrections let alone a clay.

Every time have I used Iron X and I found blood red coming from out of the paint. Amazing product!

Re: Does a new car need to be clayed?
It's easy enough to do a small area and see if you pick up visible contaminants in the clay or feel any resistance with the clay. If not, then just feel for "unsmooth spots" when you dry the car with a microfiber towel after the first wash and do a spot claying as needed (unless you really like claying, in which case...have at it!)

Re: Does a new car need to be clayed?
I have yet to take a clay bar to a new car that didn't come up with contaminants on it.
I clayed my garage queen over the weekend. After just 3000 miles and 12 months since I last clayed it, I was shocked at the amount of stuff that came off the paint.
