New cars do not come clear coated? Why the hell not? How do you tell?
'92 isn't exactly new, but if your cloth turns the color of the car when polishing or sometimes even waxing, then you have no clearcoat.
Some new car...might have been a Lexus, comes without a clearcoat, but only on BLACK. I think it had something to do with the appearance itself, or the appearance of swirls and scratches being less. I'm not the person who decided, so I can't tell you for sure.
Most new cars seem to come with clearcoats, though.

P.S. I actually like working with non-clearcoated paint better...I dunno why. I guess that is where I have the most experience.
~one plus, most scratches will show up the color of the paint, not white, as it will with a clearcoat.
I wonder what is so great about clearcoats anyway? With paint technology, dulling shouldn't be an issue any more than clear, I wouldn't think. I wonder what the advantage is, expecially on non-metallics.
