I do a bit of auto detailing and love clay bars, the spray is a mix of a special lubricant and spray wax, the clay doesn't actually rub the paint as much as it glides over the paint, pulling up any contaminates embedded in the paint that didn't come out with the wash mit. Ideally you would do a light polish after wards to remove any swirls or oxidation, followed by a nice wax or even a sealant.

I recently did my svx with this method:
Meguiars gold class soap with microfiber wash mitt.
Mothers California claybar over the whole car.
Meguairs m205 finishing polish on a white polishing pad with a Portercable 7424xp.
Meguiars NXT2.0 synthetic wax as a selant.
Collinite 845 heavy duty wax applied with a red pad on the pc7424xp again.

Super happy with the outcome and Collinite wax is supposed to last something like 5 months.
