Good info on your sticky on claying never seen it done so hear are my concerns,
how does claying compare with other products such as Maguires paint cleaner for example, i would be worried that any grit picked up by the bar would and could scratch the surface several times, and surely it can't clean as well as a fine cutting paste /cleaner you indicate only light pressure is required which is diffrent to a paint cleaner even if the car is clean.

The wheels are slightly lighter than what they should be but still a good finish when i had them refurbished

being as the car has been cleaned and dried there shouldn't be any grit on the car to be picked up, the clay acts as a very fine cutting agent were as the paint cleaner is a bit more harsh. the paint cleaner is good for removing/reducing swirl marks etc. where as claying with only remove the surface contaminates.

I understand your concern on the claying.
my method of washing is:
a pre soak using snow foam which loosens the suck on contaminates
pressure washed off with a low powered pressure washer
washes using the two bucket method again to stop swirl marks using wash mit
washed off with the pressure washer again
then dried using a large drying towel, no leathers or blades again can scratch
then clayed.
