Once you get the hang of it you'll be able to clay bar in less than an hour.  You should visit www.autopia.org if you really wanna dive into the finer points of detailing.  It's really quite addicting.

Here is their site for supplies: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/

I'm not exactly new to claying a car, but I hadn't done it in at least a year and a half.  I was definitely taking my time, but it usually takes me at least an hour and a half personally.  I also cut the bar at least in half, if not quarters, so I'm using a smaller piece of clay at any given point in time.  I prefer throwing the clay away quicker than some folks.

Thanks for the links, seems to be some good info there.  I'll have to read up a bit to see if I should be doing anything I'm not haha.

I had one of those for a little while, but traded it in for an Escort for my official first car. It had overheating problems we couldn't figure out - the catylitic converter actually would turn cherry red  :o. Anyways, when changing the spark plugs I could literally sit inside the engine compartment.

Not far off, 1994 GMC C1500 with the 4.3 V6. Got 270K miles off the first engine and transmission, dropped in a junkyard set with about 100k miles on them, have another 50K miles on that so far. Great truck, I can't imagine going back to a car for day-to-day travel, and I drive a lot-about 30K miles a year.
