After i've washed it, always worked fine for me although does occasionally require some elbow grease.

I think its crap too.
I would use it after washing but before claying and/or polishing.
I use Autosmart Tardis though. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/autosmart-tardis-clean.html
need to be in a well ventilated area

depends how warm it is outside as it evaporates quite quickly. usually leave it on for at least a minute then wash off with shampoo and a wash mitt.
when using it on tar just leave it till the tar starts melting then wipe off.
Claying will also get the more stubborn bug marks off...

What polish do people use after claying a car? ive got some mer polish and nanotec which both work really well but dont know if they are suitable for using after claying to seal the paintwork

A polish will not seal paintwork, you can buy certain products with protection in mind.
And as for ag bug and tar remover, I usualy leave it to soak for a minute and then wipe off, usualy coems straight off, or use a clay bar on it

A wax is used to protect the paint from day to day abuse and is usualy used after polishing to keep the paint nice and shiny, go over to
www.detailingworld.co.uk
There is loads of advice etc on there
