I guess the order to do things is to wash fully first, then clay?? And sounds like a stupid question, but how do you use a clay bar properly? What technique is advised? The rest is easy.. have double buckets with grit guards etc... and more microfibre cloths and terry cloths than I can imagine!!
Yep, wash, then clay. To use the clay bar you make sure you've got PLENTY of lubrication on the car and then just glide it over if I recall correctly (it's been about 5-6 months since my first time!) if you got the meg's smooth surface clay kit you should get instructions with it. Do a section that's not so important first, wipe off the lubrication and feel the paintwork - if it feels smooth and there's no marring you've done it right! If you feel it catching on the paintwork then you are going over an area where there's no lubrication. I did that a few times but the Meg's kit seems pretty safe to be honest.

You got some Zymol Field Glaze too I presume?
