Follow the instructions on the box/bottle. It tells you everything you need to do, pretty simple. I'll do a simple one:
1. Wash truck
2. Dry truck
3. Work at a section at a time, spray on some quick detailer and then run the claybar over the area a few times until you don't feel it grab anymore.
4. Buff off the QD with a quality microfiber
5. Once you finish the entire truck apply the wax
6. Squeeze some on a applicator and work it in the paint, then move on too the next panel.
7. Wait for it to haze up and then buff it off
8. Step back and enjoy your hard work

So what you're saying is is that you're a butter fingers?

No. Washing it will take off the dirt and waterspots will come out with just buffing with QD, so they will be removed when you clay bar. Now water etching will require a polisher or a buffer.

The way I do it, Is wash the truck once, then wash again but use the clay bar and use the wash as the lube. Once all done, dry truck. And waxing....has been covered already.
Clay bar in a crosshatch pattern, in circles, I do it all. Keep doing it til its allll smooooth.
I'm still a noob when it comes to exterior detail.... How long should I use the same clay bar?

I throw mine away after each use, but I'm like Zach, a butterfinger, so there's not much left when I'm done.
