First off, Fred looks mighty spiffy. and better you than me on waxing them rims. I wouldn't have the patience. 
I know everyone talks about clay barring a vehicle and raves about the results.
I feel with the condition of my paintjob(having some chips and scratches etc.) McGuiars is suitable for me.
Last year I bought a Mcguiars smooth surface clay bar kit. Reading up on clay barring I proceeded. I used Dawn dish soap to get down to the clear coat and then used it as the "lube" through out the process. After getting my step ladders handy, I started on the roof and worked down. I kneaded the bar periodically and kept the "trash" to the inner part.
When finished I waxed with Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0. I then took a plastic bag and started running my hand (in it) over the hood. I still felt a crap load of trash. NOT as much as before I started BUT, enough to think I wasted most of my time going through the extra effort and few extra $ as just washing and waxing.
Is this a process that should be repeated a few times,back to back(if the surface is bad) or is it possible I'm feeling trash IN the factory paint job not ON it.

Fred looks great!!! All dressed up for the home coming dance!
Yeah it will work Mike I would expect to get a couple of months out of it if it's outside all the time. Give or take obviously with rain and all. But we haven't had much rain this year to speak off.
