Just a couple of painters who asked me what I use and when I told them they said that was a good job for a driven car and me just waxing them and not spending days detailing them. Also there is no way to hide the rock picks and most people seem to prefer that a car be driven to a perfect trailer queen around this area and the shows up North.

Well, you could always blocksand and re-paint your car every year; that's one way to hide rock chips
Clay bars won't remove any imperfections such as RIDs, scratches, swirls, etc... - infact, chances are they'll actually induce a few because, unless you're kneeding the clay every square inch, you'll induce a bit of marring here and there, it's inevitable (but fine, because you always follow with a polish after a clay anyways) ... all clay does is remove surface contamination, so when you're polishing you're not grinding it down into the paint/pads
