no problemo, yes once you have clayed give the car a wash, ensures the removal of any lube used during claying and any loose contaminants on the paint that has been removed from the clay bar. This is the process i follow on a big detail from start to finish:

1)rinse
2)foam
3)rinse
4)2bm
5)rinse
6)tardis (tar remover)
7) rinse
8)iron x (removes iron contamination)
9)rinse
10)2bm
11)rinse
12)clay
13)2bm
14)rinse
15)dry
16) IPA wipedown (cleanse paint, removes previous protection)
17)polish
18) IPA wipedown ( check for true levels of correction)
19)foam (this stage is to remove polish residue from car)
20)rinse
21)dry
22)glaze
23)wax

sounds good mate, i need some proper wax, i just use tech spray wax (Megs) but want some i can use my hands to rub in
yeah I shall take some pictures, its a complete mess atm after only just cleaning it on sunday. The only diffrence is that i havent got any snow foam or a power washer so using a powerful hose.
also no paint corrector gauge so another thing i have to buy, but other than those things i shall be doing each step, also taking wheels off and getting in the wheel arches
