Order i do it is take it to a detailer, and save yourself 4-8 hours of backpain and swirling like the karate kid.

Yep that would be the correct order.

I'd recommend this if you have a darker colored car:

Meguiars #7 has great results on all colored cars, it just looks even better on black

so i should wash, claybar, then #7 then NXT wax on top or is that not necessary? also I've never used clay bar, i saw on youtube that you should use claybar with the quick detailer spray, is that right?

Yes. Do a complete wash. Towel dry. Followed by clay bar. Followed by polish. Followed by a coat of wax to seal it all in.

You can use a quick detailer spray when clay baring. Your wet down the surface that your working on for the clay. The clay is moved across the surface of your paint. The spray aids in keeping the surface wet for the bar to move on. You don't want to allow it to dry. The kits that you can purchase include a full set of instructions if your still a little weary about it.
