It can be done to clay and have the LSP left. And since you are going to apply a topper. It can be an option to do. Sonüs Ultra Fine Clay and the Sonüs claylube or Dodo Juice Born Slippy Claylube Concentrate combo is the most gentle I know of.
Don't know how chemical resistant the McKees 37 360 is. If it is that you could chemical decon the paint instead. Wash the car and if possible do it with Carpro Reset. And then get the lower panels and the back of the car with a tar remover. If you have some tree sap or other oily contaminants on other parts of the car you can apply it on those too. Or even on the whole car if necessary. Then if you have oxidized iron particals you treat it with an iron remover. Do a test spot and see if you get any bleeding. Do it behind the front wheels and back of the car. This will often get the water behavior back if that has degraded some. And even the embedded contaminants that is oil based grime. The use of Reset when you wash and do it a couple of times before you are applying the topper could be enough too. If you don't have to much of contaminants. Just dilute properly or even a little less. Do you use to much of Reset so you get a stronger wash solution. You can be degradeing your LSP. With 1:500-1:800 dilution you have a great lubrication and cleaning ability from Reset. I always check the paint for which contaminants it's on the paint if any. If I would apply a LSP with a long longevity from it. And do what I can to get the contaminants off before applying a LSP with a longevity like the 10min sealant seems to have. If the paint is smooth and clear I just wash with Carpro Reset and apply the topper after drying. Get a great longevity from the toppers I have applyied so far. Now a little over 1 1/2 year since the last polishing was done. It's time for polishing again. Mostly from the winter when takeing of the snow some marring was made. And very little marring from the washing and drying to clean up with a finishing polish. Have used some different LSP and toppers during this time. And the embedded contaminants is lower than I thought it to be. No claying has been done. Just decon washes and the use mostly of Reset has worked great for me. So some options if you like to try
