In my opinion, throw the clay bar away and get a Eagle One surface prep mitt, superior results over a clay bar and 1/10 the time and effort to achieve them.

I've also started using clay mitts (different brand) and won't go back to using regular clay.

In both truck examples, I did not clay bar first, mostly because I knew the amount and kind of polishing
I would be doing would remove the surface contaminates the coating process would. For me, whether I clay first depends on how the paint feels and what kind of project I have ahead of myself.

Tried it on my wife's daily driver - worked great. Can do the whole car in a matter of minutes.
