i got the methods down of using clay. I just wanted to make sure of something. somebody told me after u use the clay then get a MF to buff it off and i wouldn't need to re wash the car. I thought u wash...clay(leave what ever is on the car)...then soap and wash the car again
 
I'm not too sure how much clay would be left on the surface if it is properly lubricated, unless what that this person was referring too was buffing off any remaining lube.

I normally clay about every 6 months (as I wash, so there is really nothing to remaining to rub) and I polishing afterwards so anything that might be left is removed in that fashion.

So I was thinking about your question at my shop. So I tried using less and less lubricant with my clay bar. Eventually, it did leave residue. It did not rub off, buff off, or clay off. I finally used a paint cleaning solvent and it came off right away, so I would guess any paint-safe solvent would do it.
