Use a detailer spray to wet the spot you are working on before rubbing the clay. Remember she needs to be wet before you can rub her. Never rub the clay on a dry surface!

Car Wash soap: Honestly, I don't think this matters too much which soap as long as its a car wash soap and not like dish soap lol. Meguiars Gold Class is recommended very often for being a good soap thats pretty cheap and sold everywhere. What's more important than the soap is that you always work in shade and never let the water dry on your car or else itll leave stubborn water drop marks, rinse off most of the dirt and dust before you start or else youll swirl and scratch your paint with it, and work top to bottom. Many advise a grit guard to put at the bottom of your wash bucket to scrub your wash towel/mitt on throughout the wash process. And almost everyone does the two-bucket method where you have a "dirty" bucket to clean the dirt from your wash mitt/towel and then a "clean" bucket to re-suds up during the wash. However, I've stopped doing this and started using multiple mitts instead. After a while, just change out to a fresh new one. I think this is a better method.
Iron Remover: By far, most popular is Carpros IronX. However, I hear you can use something like Meguiars Ultimate Wheel Cleaner which apparently is the same active ingredient for like half the price. They all smell really bad though, be forewarned.
Clay Bar: I hear from Reddit that apparently, all detailing clay comes from the same factory and is licensed out to different companies, so I guess this too isn't super important which brand, but I'd at least stick to a reputable brand I'm comfortable with. For a lubricant, any quick detailer will also work. If I had to choose one to recommend, I'd choose Optimum No Rinse (aka ONR) for its multiple roles. It can also work as a car wash soap that you don't have to rinse off. I've used synthetic clays much more often though than traditional clay. Nanoskin is a brand recommended often for those but Ive yet to try.
Paint Correction: Meguiars Ultimate Compound and/or ultimate polish. For my first time, I didn't know any better and thought I could do it by hand with an applicator pad but my arm felt like it was going to fall off and it probably didn't do what it was supposed to. So you should do it with a random orbital polisher. The Griot Garage G9 is a solid one highly recommended for entry-level at like $150. Rupes is like the gold standard. The polishing pads from Lake County are the ones I see most recommended
Protection: I don't have any reccs for the glaze, sealant, and waxes, but I've been really getting into consumer-level ceramic waxes (not professional stuff). I guess ceramic is a new thing within the last 5 years and all the rage. From my research, Turtle Wax's is very good in that it makes your car glossy and slick, but Griot Garage's 3-in-1 ceramic wax lasts the longest, like about 12 months, so I use the TW and then the GG once or twice a year. Very easy to apply, just spray and wipe off.
How many bars would you say I would need to do an entire car that has all types of grit stuck to it?

How do you clean dirty mitts? I use few micro fiber clothes to rinse and clean the car and then throw in the wash cycle with regular detergent.

1. M105 - if you need to use heavy cut to fix sanding or medium/heavy oxidation
2. M205 - polish with a slight cut to make it shine, could also use for light oxidation
3. Liquid Wax
I don't want Glaze as another step before Liquid Wax. If your car has no need for paint correction then you can wax after the car is washed.
I don't understand the difference between the blue, yellow, orange and the red bars.

What's the simplest way to "buff it out"??
If you want to get into the rabbit hole of paint correction, I'd recommend getting a dual action polisher and some foam pads. Will cost about $130 for a kit.
