It takes so damn long...and I think my clay's old because it doesn't seem to work very well anymore. I find Meguier's paint scrub works better and is easier to use (takes less time).

Takes too long? I guess I've had the opposite experiences. I found the Maguire's cleaner takes a lot more effort and more time. The clay bar cleans the surface of your car without actually removing any paint. So it's safer to use more often than most paint cleaners. It would probably be best to still use a good paint cleaner at least once a year to remove dead paint.
I used clay bar for the first time when I was desperate to remove over spray that had mysteriously appeared on my car. The clay bar was absolutely amazing! I was completely sold after that experience.
Hmm, I didn't know Maguire's made a clay bar. I'll have to look for that. I do like the Maguire's line of products.
BTW, JMCN: I think one clay bar is good for 1 or 2 entire car cleanings depending on how dirty your paint is. I would suggest giving it another try with a brand spanking new bar!
Also, if the bar sits around a lot and dries up I think it loses it's potency.
