yes claying removes embedded debris done right it's great ... done wrong leaves streaks and swirls/whirls

photographer-

I have used a claybar about 3 times on my disco II.  It works magic - i was simply amazed the first time i used the claybar on it.  The amount of gunk that came up out of the clearcoat was unbelievable.

The best part about it is, after you use the claybar, a coat of wax goes on easier, comes off easier, and lasts much longer.  From what I was told from the folks at Meguiars, the claybar allows the wax to bond better to the surface of the car, lasting longer.

I didn't think there was much technique to putting it on.  Just spray the lubricant, and work the clay in circles until you can't feel the "gunk" anymore.  It's labor intensive, but in my opinion, well worth the time and effort.

Do it, but do it right.  Once you see the results you will be convinced to use a clay bar forever as part of your detailing regimen.

Definitely I agree with 'the shine shop' based on my own experience..

I tried it, and it was pretty amazing.  I could  not believe the amount of gunk it was pulling out of the paint.  Definitely something to do before you do a polishing job or something abrasive.

Be sure to keep the surface wet, I use meguiars quick detailer.
