We use a separate clay for the side skirts and wheels, just a good precaution. It is one of the most dirtiest parts of the car.

You can clay plastic, just be careful about that. I would suggest not claying plastic all together.

Keep the car lubricated so that way you're not harming the paint, but you don't want to over saturate it because it could shorten the life span of the clay as well. You don't want to drench the car down with detail spray as well, it does get back into the cracks and panels, then you'd have sitting detail spray in between. If you have clear bra don't put too much pressure on it, take your time, you can potentially scratch it.

Check the clay often to see if its getting dirty and fold often. Sometimes even if you don't see the clay getting dirty, its removing something. For example, the front fender, I'd fold the clay at least 2x when its in a good condition.

Last but not least, have fun and good luck with claying! =)
