Claying is certainly not hard. Rather simple in fact.

Claying 101: Take the clay and fold it over itself a few times and then flatten it out to the size of about 1 inch by 2 inches, spritz an ample amount of quick detailer or clay lube over the surface, rub clay over surface until the clay feels slick on the surface. After each panel, work the clay over itself and re flatten. This will make all embedded dirt stay in the clay rather than on the part where you are touching the paint.

See? Simple

For hand polishing, one of the best is Meguiar's Ultimate Polish... and it's only like 8 dollars for a bottle too!

The wax is totally dependent on you. In my opinion the paint pre-wax will account for 90% of the look, and the wax will account for 10%.
