    Na, Claybar is used after washing before polishing, to remove all the stuck on tree sap etc which makes your paint feel rough. You dont need to clay your car every time you polish the car just about 1 to 2 times a year.
    I usually, Wash, then clay, then wash again, then polish, then sealant / wax.
    Hope it helps coop, Jim
