The clay should glide across the paint and it will glide even easier after a pass or two. I use it on my brand new cars with good results. It really gets that paint smooth and clean. Removes contaminants (think rail dust) and the shit was the dealer put on. Follow it up with a good sealant and you are good to go.
I always give my car a 3 step polish/sealant twice a year and always start off with clay. Paint looks great and I am always happy with the results.
+1....But I polish every other year....KUDOS to you though!
