It was a rhetorical question where the answer was most likely "no". Therefore you don't have to wash your car every week. I guess it went over your head.

BTW I don't park outside. Maybe you should.

You do know that claybars are commonly used to remove overspray right?

What would that prove? That claying works? I already know that, or did you not read where I said 3-4 times a year, brother? Did you skip reading comprehension in grade school or something?

No one spray paints near my car, that's why I don't clay it 6 times a year like a "wackjob".

You should not be claying that often because it is an abrasive. That means it scratches your paint when you use it. It's taking off iron contaminants because that's its' job but that doesn't mean it's good to constantly use on your paint because it is an abrasive. If scratching and marring doesn't bother you that's fine - clay as often as you want.

Generally, you only need to clay the car when it needs to be clayed.

The car duster is the best 20 bucks i've ever spent. Only use if you are confident you have a few layers of wax on the paint
