i dont see any reason to wash ur car after u clay bar..cause u use that water mix salution, while u clay bar..if u clean up while u are clay baring there is no reason to wash after clay bar...the clay bar instructions dont even say wash after claybaring it just says wax..so i guess thats a personal preference

Pretty close. Are you just polishing or are you buffing? If you are buffing you need to wash the car before you wax it. This is the order I do stuff in on the cars I detail.

1. Tar removal
2. Wash
3. Clay bar
4. Buff
5. Wash
6. Wax

What are you using for polish, what speed, etc?
