don't push hard with the clay bar and make sure the car is well lubed.... otherwise you'll scratch the paint
Actaully I don't know if I scratched the clear coar or if I just got all the wax out of the swirl marks but it looked like more swirl marks after I clayed mine.
You'll want McGuiares Polish. #7 I think.. deep gloss. Give it 3 layers of that but allow for time for them to "soak in" between coats.. 30 min give or take depending on temp. Then top it off with the NXT wax.

What CashMoney said, make sure to pick up some polish. Definately read alot on these forums and you'll pick up some great information. Oh and don't be afraid to spend an entire day cleaning your car, it's worth it!
