easiest way to find out is using a white rag and some wax cleaner or scratch remover.. Wipe a small area in circular motion for a couple minutes.. If you see some pink residue on the rag, then ur car has no clear coat...

I would try the area the bodyshop didn't touch to do the testing.

In my previous life, I was a shop foreman for a large Toyota dealer. It is 100% factual that Toyota did NOT use clear on the Red cars/trucks. My dad also stil owns an 88 SC MR2 which will turn any rag red on wax day...

I do not recall if this was the same for white or not.

I also do not recall why this was....getting too old to remember back that far

 

in your previous life? So you're the reincarnated version of your previous self?

 

Some colors have tinted clears... Doesn't AG have a purple-tinted clear coat on top of PG paint?

In the case of a tinted clear, rubbing the clear off will show color on the rag.
