You can use decontamination products, typically solvent based, citrus based etc to strip off tar, metal impurities etc. more you take off less to remove with the clay.
Used an iron/fallout remover recently and was surprised how much metal there was on the paintwork... some of the products bleed, that is change colour when they react with metal impurities. Looks pretty cool and gives you an idea of where to pay attention in future.
You can have lots of steps to cleaning but as with most jobs right tools/product helps loads. You can spend as much or as little as you want.
For example 500ml of the product that changes colour when reacting with metal circa £10 a bottle.
Another product that does the same job but doesn't bleed £13 for 5 litres and you dilute it down.
Well worth reading up a little on Detailing World, be warned I looked purely to get advice on how best to use Autoglym Super Resin Polish and I reckon £500 later I've only just scratched the surface with buying stuff and trust me that's nothing!
