All I can say is I have never waxed a car before. Any info would be great. Also what is a clay bar?

Both sites above are good resources.

i agree 100% with oc s2k's ideas-
another idea (related to the autopia site) is:

clay bar - is a small piece of clay used for removing little pieces of grit , brake dust, rubber marbles, that builds up as paint contamination. At this level soap and a mild wash mitt cannot get rid of, so the clay acts as a perfect alternative.

If the dude's never waxed a car before I'm not sure I'd get into the clay bar deal for his first time.
