I've always used claybar on my car before adding wax or a paint sealant such as Zaino or FMJ. However I never bothered to claybar if I was planning to "buffout" my car. If I'm using Menzerna Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna Final Polish what's the point of claybaring first? I'm buffing down to remove a few microns of clearcoat anyways what could be gained by claybaring first? I'm asking this question because I recently had a conversation with a professional detailer and he told me I should "always" claybar before buffing my car out.

CLAY CAN TURN A GOOD JOB INTO A GREAT JOB

Depending on whom you speak to, clay can either be one of the most useful

You should. Clay bar is going to remove surface contaminants. If you were to not claybar first, the surface contaminants would be transfered on to the pad, causing further marring of the paint, instead of fixing it.

Prove it to yourself. Polish your car with a good cleaner/polish. Now before you wax, clay it. You will be able to feel and hear the contaminants being picked up by the clay.

You may want to buff again after the clay.
