You really need to check this page out...
A section on "Do you need to Clay?" and how to properly use it.
This page is very informative!:righton:

Yes, read that. The quick and easy answer is that if you run your hand over the paint and it doesn't feel nice and smooth, you need to clay.

cleansing lotion is used after clay and before the protection (wax). Now if you are polishing then skip the lotion as a chemical cleaner only.
