I do the entire car, although the front and rear sections usually contain the most grime.

The whole car.

Start in the front, do the hood, roof, sides and leave the back bumper for last. That is an area on your car that will likely KILL the clay bar.

The whole car once per year and "spot clay" throughout the year. The area behind each of the tires is usually the worst for me.
