My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
Car only one month old
Hand washed and waxed multiple times with meguires NXT
Dark Green - figured out how to do it with not a single swirl mark, but...
Behind the wheels is now "rough" to the touch - do I need to clay or polish this area?
Can I only do one area without doing the whole car?
It will come off if I "scrub - but I do not want to do that.

I suggest claying the car. Might as well do the entire car--be sure to use plenty of lubricant, start from the top, and work your way down.

mud flaps? really? Any pictures?
If I clay the car do I need to polish it also (not wax, but the polishing compounds)?

No need to polish just because you clay. Do it if needed. Definitely wax, though.
