Step By Step Help...Please

I recently had my car clayed and waxed... i was very satisfied with the results.

Since then there is a good amount of spray paint from nearby idiots that were spray painting some things near my car. They didn't sit there and spray paint my car but there is a good amount of overspray on my car. If you gently move your hand across the paint you get a gritty feel. I grabbed some clay and some detailers spray and tried to remove one small area as a test to see if can be removed. It seems that the clay will pull the spray paint off and leave behind a smooth surface.

This leads me to my question...

What are the steps to wash / seal / wax the car?

And can you please also provide the product you would recommend for each step?

Thank you for your help!

Clay with a good lube, follow with a good polish session using a random orbital polisher and meguirs 205 to take out the fine swirls. follow with chemical guys ez glaze and finish with Jet Seal or blackfire.
