IMO cars that were never clayed since purchase, need to be clayed no matter what. theres no way there isn't any rail dust deep in your paint from transportation.

Exactly!!! Rail dust if it went by train, diesel soot if it went by truck, salt and all manner of other contamination if it crossed the ocean.
Unless you pick your car up at the factory there is contamination on it, doesn't matter if you took delivery the day it arrived at the dealer or it sat on the lot for 3 months... the world is full of contamination that likes to bond with your paint, glass, headlights, tail lights, etc. Claying doesn't add a ton of time to the process, but it does make a HUGE impact on the clarity of the finish.
