Default help with cleaning/waxing

ok so heres the deal. i just went out and splurged about 50 bucks at my local advance auto parts on cleanng supplies. i got turtle wax ice liquid polish, turtle wax ice liquid clay bar, ice car wash, some microfiber towels, and the ice quick detailer. the directions on these are a little confusing, so i was wonduring if anyone can help me by giving me a detailed step by step way to clean my car? does the car need to be dried before i clay it? how often can i wax my car? is it ok to put more than 1 coat of wax on? thanks for the help guys!

Microfiber towelS? Mind my asking what you need more than one for? I only use mine to dry the car, do you use them for anything else?

Aren't terry cloth towels reccomended, though? Not to mention cheaper. =\

Well, I must be a weird one... I use about 10... and use them for everything, I have 2 set aside for rims, 1 huge one to dry the car, 2 little ones to dry the trunk, hood and door areas underneath, and buffing is a huge plus with the microfibers!!
