Here's my deconn process after simplifying things and learning of clay mitts

Assuming you're covered or in the shade...

Wash the car like normal (use your cheaper soaps, nothing special for this wash)

Spray whole car (painted surfaces) with iron/fallout remover (I use Griot's)

Use a clay mitt for physical decon, with the chemical decon spray acting as the lube. You might also spritz some lube as you go. With the mitt, you can do the whole car very quickly as opposed to a little block of clay. I dump my mitt into a bucket of water as I go around to clean it off.

Rinse it down and dry it off. Depending on climate, you might need to hose off portions as you work them.

I only do this if I'm going to be polishing the car. If not polishing, I don't use clay as it will marr the surface. I just do the chemical decon.
