Something to think about. Clay as become the "solve all" for paint surface contamination. You might want to think about what you are attempting to remove before you reach for the clay
I just finished detailing my sister's six year old Jeep Liberty. It was in pretty good shape considering she gives it minimum care. No major scratches or other marring. However when I rubbed my hand around all of the painted surfaces I could feel a pebbly texture...a major job with the clay bar. Closer inspection revealed minute specks of tar on on the vertical surfaces. The "stuff" came of quite easily with 3M Adhesive Remover letting the solvent do its job. I'm sure it was much quicker with the solvent than it would have been with clay. However, because I wasn't sure what was on the hood and top,I clayed these surfaces.
To finish the job I Use ColorX applied with a PC. The Jeep looks better than new...almost.
