You MUST wash throughly before claying as you will just drag the dirt across the car .
I pressure wash off, then wash with mitt, then use an all purpose cleaner to remove old wax and sealants then clay.

Wash the car thoroughly with the 2 bucket method , rinse the car off , leave it wet then clay , no need to use a lubricant as long as you wet the panel you are claying , re wash the car to remove the clay residue and polish if required and wax , use apc on stubborn fly splats or bird crap.
Not all clay can use water. Some need a lubricant. I use billt hamber clay which is one of the few that do use water as lubricant. Using the wrong stuff can marr the paint
iron x will not do the same job as clay! its used to remove contamination like tree sap or iron fallout or brake dust! The clay removes the contamination that makes the paint feel rough but can not be seen after washing.
I would also wash the car before and after claying! The sponge glides over the paint so easily on the second wash
and also even if the clay can use water as a lubricant i would use another lubricant as well so as to not damage the paintwork!

That's news to me pal, I have tried about 6 clay bars and always use water if I don't have a lubricant about and gives the same results never had any Issues with marring at all only very good results.
No you don't need to , a clay bar will remove tar but smaller spots , you can use a tar remover if you have a lot of tar saves the clay bar
Iron x was made for alloy wheels in specific , to remove ferrous contamination from wheels and body work it's a separate thing altogether than claying
can you clay a car which has been superguarded sealant on the paint work ,which has been on since 2007
swaying motion
does anyone find when driving motorway speeds and there is a windy day the car seems to be blown like a swaying movement as if it was a lorry .
just wondering

how can you tell if its still doing its job and does it not have a renewing as a shell life date .
would it not be better to have a superguard/diamond bright re applied after claying,to give it a good pretection instead of claying every so often.
