I have a lot of fine minor scratching and i think doing this entire process would be a easiest way to remove them. I have many layers of wax i was wondering if i should claybar the entire car first or will step 1 strip everything enough to get it ready to do the whole system.

Ive always skipped step 2. I never used polish when i detail just jump directly to the wax. I am wondering if this will really make a difference and make the car shine even more.

There are soaps out that will remove protection on your paint surface. Those along with your claybar routine will get your surface prep'd for any further work you plan on doing. One soap available to all is Dawn. I would use this one time, follow with the claybar. I would not recommend Dawn as my go to wash soap as it is strong and could damage other parts of the car it encounters if used regularly over an extended period of time. One time should do you.
