People don't think that they are cleared because when you polish a PY R your rag goes yellow. I was told that the factory clearcoat has a yellow tint to it.

Phoenix Yellow is a "single stage" paint job, where base and clear is mixed together and sprayed at the same time. So it really doesn't have a "clear coat" that is sprayed on after the base.

Yep, that is mostly why your rag turns yellow when waxing.

well if u polish ur car and the rag becames of the same color of the car then that is mono coat where the paint has the color and also a clear coat combined and no need for a clear coat
there is other where u paint the car with the color and then spray the clear coat (double coating)... when there is a clear coat added u dont see the color in the rag after polishing
