You COULD clay the car -- but yeah, if time and effort are important, then you could get away with it. If you've been driving it only a few weeks, very little grime/particles should be in the paint and clearcoat.
But seal it up right away. The longer you go, the more you want to clay the car.
Remember: claying a new car is pretty easy. You're not gonna pick up lots of dirt and tar. When I clayed my car when it was new, took like 30 minutes, tops. Today, it takes me well over an hour.
In short, it's not NECESSARY but it won't hurt. But the important thing is to get some sealant layers on the car.
Also, if you use KLASSE AIO that would do alot of the cleaning action that claying would do. So use AIO if you don't clay.
