Also I just clayed a small section and then quick detailed the section right next to it and both sections felt smooth as glass. So I dont know?
SixspeedJ,

WITHOUT a doubt you should give your baby a nice wash and then clay her! Once that is done you can progress. Claying makes sure that the contaminants are gone and that you are not sealing them in with your last step product (sealant/wax). It can be done in literally minutes and even though you may not see the difference, your car will thank you for it!
