20 minutes to clay an entire car?!

Okay, no speicific topic here, but after posting many questions and everyone's great help I finally got through my first detailing job.
First off, maybe it's possible to clay a car in 20 minutes if you do it regularly and there's not much accumulation to remove, but I had to spend more time than that just on my hood and it took WELL over an hour to do the entire car. Honestly, there were a zillion little black specs on my silver finish (I'm guessing brake dust?) and I was suprised how much pressure it took with the clay to remove these things, but make no mistake, it was the best move I made. The finish is absolutely flawless and smooth like glass now, so I hope it's an easier job next time around.
Klasse AIO? Well, I guess it was good...it certainly was easy to wipe on and off. I couldn't help thinking though that the amount of product they recommend you use isn't much and gets spread very thinly, so I really hope it provides adequate protection. I will add that I like the idea of using it on the wheels and glass.
Peanut oil for moulding? Phenominal! Really, my car looks brand new and this was a big part of it as there used to be a lot of fading and old wax on my black trim.
Oh well, that's it...just babbling. Again, thanks to everyone for their advice and answer to my posts. My 9-3 looks beautiful now and I look forward to keeping it that way.
Cheers
