Yeah, clay bars are amazing, especially if you had never used one before.

You may be able to 'improve' the look of white paint by also chemically cleaning the paint
-
To prepare paint surface to accept a wax /polymer sealant and not adversely effect there durability or optical properties will take a combination of products. Detailer’s clay will remove the surface contaminants, used in conjunction with a mildly abrasive chemical cleaner (Klasse All-In-One) to clean the micro fissures left in the surface and restore the paints gloss.

how do you know when you should retire your clay bar, and start using a fresh one?

When you can’t find a ‘clean’ (obviously a relative term) surface by kneading the clay its time to relegate it to glass surfaces, once it gets soiled from this use relegate it to wheel surfaces

i just got a mothers clay bar and it says that it can be used 3 times (3 full cars)

They are in the business to sell clay. . .

Divide the Detailer's Clay into equal pieces and knead into a ball to ensure pliability (usually each ¼ piece will ‘clean’ two vehicles, it can then be relegated to wheel surfaces and then glass)
Take one of the pieces and flatten it out into a circle, approximately enough that it will fit into two or three fingers
Spray a 2-foot by 2-foot surface with a lubricating solution (WooliteTM or Dreft™ / Water 5:1), ensure that the surface being clayed is always wet (important enough to restate- ensure that the surface being clayed is always wet)
