Here's what the clay bar looked like after claying only the hood.
It's Not very pretty, but the dirt and contaminants that the clay bar has safely removed will go a long way to insuring a high gloss, smooth as glass finish.

Here's what the finish looks like after claying and wiping off, and before using ColorX.
First I did a test spot using a Meguiar's W-0004 foam wax applicator pad and achieved very good results.
Then, to give me a little more cleaning power, I tried another test spot in a different area using a small piece of 100% cotton terry cloth. Before applying the ColorX, I laid a piece of tape across the finish to more dramatically show the before and after results.

After seeing that the combination of ColorX, a piece of cotton terry cloth towel, and some elbow grease would produce the results I was after, I proceeded to apply ColorX to the entire hood.
Here's a close up of the results, all achieved by hand.

After finishing the hood, I began to go around the rest of the car. Here's a before and after shot. The before is below the pinstripe, and the after is above the pinstripe.
Here I placed some tape down the center of the passenger door to better show before and after.
Here's a close-up of the same area.
