I basically washed the car using meguriars gold class shampoo, used a lambwool
Mitt instead of a sponge, much better works a treat! Then dryed it up with a microfibre towel, then i used a meguires quik
Detailer it comes with a clay bar, just sprayed the car bit by bit and used the clay bar, its abit like playdo, this was my first time using it, then buffed with another microfibre towel. Then lastly i used the meguriars liquid wax, it came with the pad, i applied around the car and buffed again with another microfibre cloth. What i wanted to know was now that i clayed and waxed the car do i need to do this every time i wash the car or do it every 3-6 months?

After claying, you should wash it again, then polish/wax it. You can clay anytime u want, just make sure its well lubed.
