I clay the entire car while just using the spray bottle as lube. Once I am done, I wash the entire car with water/Z7 and that should remove any residue that is left from the claying process.

I did smaller areas and rinsed frequently. It was hot and I did not want to let the water and crud dry - I tried to keep the entire car wet until a final wash and chamois.

I use Meguiar's Professional (NOT THE CONSUMER) clay bar. Mother's and Zaino are very good too.
Cut less than a 2" section of the clay and knead it into a pancake. Make sure your hands are clean. Set the bar on a clean towel or similar so nothing adheres to the clay. Now wash your car with dawn and while it is wet this is a great time to clay. Do one panel at a time. Never use a circular motion with the bar. Skate front to back or vice versa and do not use a lot of pressure (just let the clay bar do all the work) Take a bottle of Quick Detailer spray or a bottle of soapy water and really get the panel you are working on very wet and spray down the bar as well and 'skate' away. After each panel, knead the bar to start with a clean part of the clay. Also after each section, go ahead and rinse the panel with water to keep from having water spots. After you are done claying, wash the car again and dry with a Fieldcrest Made in the USA 100% cotton towel or similar and apply your favorite polish/wax.
Note *The key is make sure the surface you are working on is very wet
Note *Only do this on a clean and cool surface
Note *If you drop the bar, throw it away immediately (do not try to knead to a clean section)
Note *Check the bar from time to time to make sure nothing has embedded into it
Note *Do not use a circular motion
