Detailing for those with only patches of time?

So I've read through all the posts and I'm psyched about detailing my car by myself for the first time! Only problem is that I only have a couple hours a day, rather than several hours at the same time. So I've been thinking about how to approach this. I'm armed with a clay bar, Glide and wax. What do you think would give me the best results?

1. Wash off the wax and clay bar the entire car one day. Then another day, rewash it and wax it.

or

2. Wash off wax, clay bar and wax half the car one day, then the same for the other half another day (obviously being careful not to wash off the wax I applied the previous day!)

The car is a year old and has not been detailed yet. I'm really looking to get off the little brown goo spots and seal it up. Planning to this whole process once a year. Oh, and I don't have an orbital waxer, so it's all gonna be done by hand
