If you're going to clay, make sure to knead the clay every so often so the clay that's working the clear coat is fairly clean.

Good point. I usually knead it after each panel. I use a quick-clay technique where I wash the car first then go back and squeeze the suds out the wash sponge to use the suds as clay lube. It speeds up the process a good bit rather than using spray lube. And if I'm about to polish the paint after I clay it really doesn't matter what I use. Cuts down the clay time considerably.

Yeah man. Taking care of stuff you spent a ton of money on is totally woman-like.

Yea, self-sufficiency is so feminine, man. Didn't you hear?

Have you ever used Menzerna, HD, or Meguiar's compound and polish? I've found they're pretty much idiot-proof, especially the Menzerna.
