Heres my opinion its a pain in the ass but you have to do it. use alot of detailer and just rub it on its simple just takes time

What Ghostly Echo said - wash, then clay bar with the quik detailer. Make sure you have lots of time to do this, because it's time consuming.

The first time I clayed my car I then waxed it after and I wanted to DIE. I don't recommend trying to do both in the same day, but to wax it you want a clean car, so if you don't have a whole weekend to dedicate to this process, you're going to need to get both clay and wax done in one day.

Yep, claybar than wax. The claybar is supposed to strip off any old wax that is currently on the car.

Be sure to find a cool shaded place that will stay so for the entire day. Set aside at least 6 hours from start to finish. Make sure to use lots of quick detailer, you need to keep the bar lubricated
