Thank you, that's good news.
I was only applying it by hand and not pressing very hard at all.
I've used clay in the past, but not for a very long time.
(Just realised, probably over ten years ago... Ouch, where did that time go?)

I've already invested in the Autoglym stuff. Is it best to not use it anymore?

Can I use sealer without polishing/claying if the paint is smooth to touch? I guess that now it's smooth, I can just keep applying the sealer and it will never become rough whilst I keep on top of sealer application?
