Lots of people don't agree with that assessment

Larry Reynolds and crew are certainly entitled to their opinion of clay but there are many others who disagree with them. While he's correct that the original design of body clay was to help remove paint overspray, the product has been formulated to be much safer than what's described by CCS.
What detailing clay does is remove surface contaminents quickly and safely, without abrading the paint surface. The lubricant acts as a protective barrier. Even if you get a clay smudge it won't harm your paint; a light scuff can easily be removed if that happens.
Using a liquid compound to remove surface crus is far more damaging to paint as you are literally grinding on the paint, whereas the clay is only touching the contaminent atop the paint. Think of it as removing a splinter in your finger. You could take tweezers and remove it by grabbing ahold of the splinter (i.e. how clay works), or you could take sandpaper or a file and grind off your skin until enough has been removed to physically dig out the splinter (i.e. how compound works). Which sounds less damaging??
