I'll likely just look for a bunch of How-To videos on YouTube. Seems legit.

or pay someone to do it, i recommend NorthWest Auto Salon in lynnwood, they do amazing work.

I used to use claybar, but just tried a Nanoskin towel the other day. WAY faster and last longer too! But i'll still keep a clay bar for small areas or when there's a tough spot.
