Default Re: For Dummies Question: What's a Clay Bar and What Do I Do With It?

True, but that will typically vary with environmental circumstances like where you live; where you drive; whether you park near trees or in the open; what kind of industrial facilities might be nearby; the kind of rain and wind and road dirt the car is exposed to; whether the car is garaged or not; and similar conditions that can affect the amount of crud that might end up on your paint. As noted earlier, the "plastic bag test" will usually tell you whether you need to clay or not.
