I just clay barred my car on Friday, first time I've done it. I did notice on most of the surfaces, it didn't feel like it was doing much, and the bar didn't look like it was picking up much. But on some other surfaces, I did see traces of gunk on it.

The clay bar is more about maintaining the health of the paint, getting contaminants and very small particles out of it. Stuff you might not be able to see. It's good to do it even if it doesn't end up looking better as a result. It will keep your paint 'healthier'.

ETA... the surface did feel smoother, even if the bar didn't appear to be picking up a lot of particle matter...
