So I did the baggie test after I clay barred the whole car.

If you don't clay with enough lube, I clay with a foam gun much better imo, you will have residual clay left behind. This might be what you are feeling.

If you don't clay with enough lube, I clay with a foam gun much better imo, you will have residual clay left behind. This might be what you are feeling. The clay bar should glide easily across the paint surface with a little pressure and never stick. This would leave rough sticky areas. If this is the case use a cleaner wax or mild polish to restore finish. As some have already told you claying will leave the surface very smooth. I alway like to use a cleaner or polish after claying. Chances are if you need to clay then it's probably time to polish as well. Good luck.
