Tell me more about Clay

i've been looking into the whole detailing thing. i've ordered a PC and bundle from DP and i want to make sure i clay before i polish and wax. so i've been looking and Meg's and others have more than one type. there is fine and mild and medium and others... what should i use?
so whats my car like?
i've had it for 1 year and have not applied wax, we just bought a house and i work full time and go to school full time so not a lot of free time. but i'm at the point where i am not ok with anymore. i looked into how to fix paint chips with the langka products and what have you but i do have some minor swirls which i can post later today if you want/need for evaluation. . i was thinking of buying medium grit clay since i'll be polishing right after. is that a good idea?
is this the right process?
Hand Wash with lambswool mitt and 2 buckets with grit guard
Clay Surface
hand wash again

Paint Repair
let cure

next day
Hand wash
Swirl with orange pad
Finish with white
Amigo with black?
Epic with black
take more photos

please help i've read a lot of these threads and i think this is the right way to go. i'm gonna do it this weekend or next based on weather. Friday (the family guy weather man Olly's voice) "It's gone Rain"

recap
what clay should i use?
am i following the right process for wash and wax?

thanks
