My question: I washed and waxed my car last week. It is still in excellent condition. I thought I read some where that you can polish your car prior to waxing to get out dirt and other grime that washing didn't. At this point my car does not require any claying. Can the polishing still be helpful? Or would it not be necessary unless I was claying? I don't mind waxing again after polishing if needed.

I suppose it depends. If you've got marring, spiderwebs, etc then I'd say polishing would help.
How long has it been since you last polished? Since you last clayed?

What color is the paint? Certain colors would benefit from a polishing with a chemical paint cleaner such as Poorboy's World Pro Polish. It would surely brighten up some lighter colors and red too. I would want to clay before machine applying a paint cleaner unless it passes the plastic wrap test where you would place some plastic wrap or a baggie over your fingers and lightly glide your fingers over "clean paint", if there are contaminates that should be clayed off you will feel them using this technique.
