What if my car is smooth after I compound? Does that mean I didn't need the clay after all?
I suspect your paint is clean after compounding. What everyone here is trying to tell you is the right way to polish your car. Polishing is polishing regardless of the material you are using ie compound, polish or wax When you put a buffer to your paint you do not want to transfer contaminants to your buffer pad only to risk damaging the paint and making more work for you to correct. Thats the reason to lay the car. Claying a car is actually pretty fast and leaves a clean smooth surface behind. Does that make sense?
There are some great resources for you on this forum. Just spend some time reading Mike Phillips articles. Very educational.
