Just keep folding it over every few minutes to expose "clean" clay!
Get something on to protect it all after as well!

Note there are 3 sorts of clay out there, 2 made in Japan - the crumbly grey stuff (Megs etc) and the blue stuff (Race Glaze etc), plus the Swissol stuff which is more elastic and yellow (presumably made in Switzerland).
I understand that the crumbly stuff won't last as long.
When its no good for bodywork reserve it for your wheels.

Cam someone recommend me a clay bar + lube pack that suits the S2000s finish. Its a 2003 car and the paint is generally good so it doesn't need something totally aggressive!

Yep, I have used the Meguiar's Clay Bar which comes with a bottle of Quik Detailer for years now on 5 different cars (black, silver, yellow) and its been excellent.
I will do the whole car once a year and the front bumper 3 or 4 times a year. If I get tar spots I will use when required. I actually wash, polish and QD my car so much that I doubt it will need to be fully clayed in the next 2 years.
Try the following websites or buy from Halfords:
