Ever use a clay bar on your car?

I have about, oh, 20 coats of wax on my '55 Clipper. The paint is overall good, but I think it is time to clean it up a bit. I was discussing this with some people who are really into paint and detailing and independently each suggested trying a clay bar to clean up the impurities in the existing paint. One said I should wash the car with Dawn diswashing soap to get rid of the wax build-up. then dipping the bar in the bucket of soap and gently gliding the bar over the surface until there is no resistance. He suggested I follow it with Maguire's glaze.

Since I have never tried one of these before, I am a bit nervous about it. I would appreciate any input regarding this method from those of you who have tried this before.
