Post Clay Barring

I've applied four coats of Zaino to my truck. Would it be harmful to my paint/zaino to clay bar now? Thoughts?

I spent 5 hours yesterday washing, clay barring, waxing the L. Had her parked out front, thought to myself Maybe I can catch some of the cruising wrapping up for Cinco De Mayo, hopped in the shower. When I got out it was pouring Even got stung by a bumble bee washing her.

It's silly putty to lift away crap & junk off your paint.Leaves a nice,smooth finish.You can feel the difference when you rub your hand between a clayed surface and non-clayed surface.Good stuff!

Question

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, isn't claybarring used to remove all contaminants including wax and any other stuff that's not paint. I used it on a 97 SS I used to own; they are notorious for getting metal flakes and other crap all over the rear bumper that's IMPOSSIBLE to get off. I tried Zaino claybar and it just went away....magnificent stuff. But, I believe the instructions saying that this will remove all wax.

Cool

He's right, I'd wait till the next full wax sesssion to do it. Strip the was with Dawn, clay bar then wax.
