I agree with most all of the above. However, it's really not necessary to dry the finish after the washing---in fact, you want the car wet (and, additionally, sprayed with some sort of quick detail as a lubricant) when you clay.
And, as I indicated earlier, hold on tight to the clay when you're using it: It's easy to have it slip out of your grip. Once it hits the ground/pavement it picks up grit that will scratch if you attempt to re-use it. It needs to be pitched.
