A couple things to Benz Rider-
One, please don't take what I say as offensive, as this is not my intent.
1. Why do you think claying before washing is ok? You want as clean of a surface as possible to limit the amount of contaminants that get transferred to the clay. One little pebble that gets into the clay can put some very nasty clearcoat scratches into the paintwork. I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't simply wash and then clay to better prevent swirls in the paint.
2. You state that it is a waste to Polish and Wax everytime you wash, or detail, a car. Yes, I would agree with you. However, when you clay a car you remove the wax that may be on the paintwork. Hence, it needs to have a coat of wax put on again. This is what I believe others are having a problem with. You keep saying that you don't Wax every time because it doesn't need it, and if you didn't clay the wax off then you'd be right, but you have, so it needs to be waxed.
I guess I'm a little confused. You say you've been detailing cars for a long time but you're make some very novice missteps.
Good luck to ya. I hope you take this advice, I think you'll be impressed about your increased quality of work.
