Claybar, polish, wax yesterday. I am amazed at how it looks afterward, you'd think it's new except for some chips low on the spoiler. 2 years of ownership and I love it more today than ever.

When done the paint feels like glass. It's amazing how much crap builds up on your paint even if you garage it. Sap, bird crap, bugs, tar, etc. You wash "most" of it off but there is always some left.
You should give it a try, even if just on a fender/hood. Just remember that it takes EVERYTHING off so you'll need to wax it afterward to protect it. I do my cars 2x a year if possible and usually break it up by doing half the car one day and then the other on another day. Build up is much less if you do it every 6-8 months so it goes faster.

OMG, before/after clay is night and day. Took me about 3 hours to clay the entire car (roof included). The side skirts took a while as they seem to get the brunt of crap from the road.
