Ive never done clay before, but the polish is so easy. I use zaino and am very happy with it.

By the looks of your car, you definitely don't need to buff it. Clay with body shine then a nice wax or polish (I've been using Rejex) and your car will be mint.

If your not sure how, I can show you how to use clay with body shine then the rest is a piece of cake.

Rejex FTW

This stuff is awesome and very underrated. Very easy to use.

Pm me and I'll give you my cell. We can do it this weekend if you want. I usually detail my car on Saturday mornings if that works for you.

A neighbor or my turned me on to it. I gotta say I've used a lot of different waxes and polishes but the Rejex stands out. It is definitely underrated and mybe a little less well known. I swear by it now.
