^ AGREED

Some clay products introduce marring or micro-marring. Inspect the paint when done.

Again as Reflections Detail stated above I agree, It is always best to remove all residue.
Sometimes I rewash. You can use diluted IPA spray. I prefer to use Eraser before applying the LSP.

Also to answer the op question about getting a "full detail" you can plan on setting aside at least $500

I know that seems really high but consider that it would take a pro detailer 15+ hours then the hourly rate seems appropriate. To make it seem reasonable think of a lawyers hourly rate.

Honestly, I would look into doing it yourself. Once you do an actual detail, you'll realize how much money you can save. I guess to me it would be only worth it if you never had a weekend to set aside to do this and have the money.

I'll never use any other brand or type, also didn't need a buffer as the stuff goes on easy and comes off just as easy, the buffer would speed up the process but it didn't take long by hand.
You can make anything shine but like it has been said can you make it have depth and glow. That's what you really wanna look for. You can make swirls look super shinny if you want but does that truly look good... No
