if your question is How do you render with the wire overlapping the clay - then the way i was told to do it (but havnt actualy tried it yet) was to clone the mesh and apply a wire frame material to it then increase the size of it by like 1%

yes....clone your object,apply a wire mat to the clone and use the push modifier on the clone and give it a push of 0.01%

rgr that, thnx a lot

Thought it had to be something like that.. just couldn't get it working =/ But it works now

It's better to do it with materials than duplicating the geometry especially if you've got lotsa polys..

That doesn't work perfectly with all meshes tho'
Then there's a free plugin that does the same, but with uniform line width:
