i'd suggest u start out with washing ur car with regular car wash. rinse thoroughly, then start claying. u may want to cut the clay bar in half, as some have suggested, in case u drop it an get dirt all over it. up to u. otherwise, go ahead and knead out the bar to a larger, flat piece, and simply run it from one side to the other in a nice, clean, even stroke. u dont really have to put alot of pressure on the bar. after the first swipe, look at the bar an see how much dirt/contamination it's collected. if it's alot, then knead the stuff out, and go over that spot again. if nothing, then keep on goin with the rest of the car, checking every so often to make sure its not dirty. u may/may not feel the bar picking up contaminants, but in the end, after ur polish and wax, ur car will feel so much smoother.
after the clay, u shuld either rinse off the car with regular water or simply wipe off with a terry cloth towel. from here on out, its all up to u. people have different methods of polishing/protecting their cars. i've applied a few coats of meguiar's scratchX my first 2 clay sessions, then used the meguiar's nxt paste tech wax, which worked wonders. but, like i said, people have had different polish and wax "steps" to get their car looking beautiful. im pretty sure u can find a few recent posts using the search on this topic.
i keep my clean look by throwin on some turtle ice wax spray every couple of days, just to keep it lookin fresh and feelin slick.
hope this helps.
