Don't drop the bar on the ground, if you do, you'll have to toss it or risk things like dirt and sand turning it into sandpaper. Re-knead the bar often. I hold the lubricant in one hand and the bar in another. I just using it until the paint feels smooth to the touch, then I wash the lubricant off with the hose and wax.
on the stairs, she grabs my arm, says whats up,
where you been, is something wrong?
i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.

Water works just as well. just dont get it too wet or the clay bar will feel soggy. First time I clayed my car for about 2 hours or so around every inch of the car I found out I had flake in my paint lol. Before I couldnt see it. Oh yea and my first bar was like half gray lol.

Everything shown above, except for the big circular can of wax came in the claybar kit.. I spent just over $15 for everything pictured here.. The Claybar kit was on sale at Walmart for $10 and the Wax was on sale at advance auto for $5.. So with tax it was around $16.50, or so, for everything..

i really wouldn't recommend water as a lubricant. the clay bar is abrasive, but not abrasive to your paint when used properly. it works by shearing and wearing away contaminants, and then suspending them in the clay.
the cleaner wax is a good product to use if you don't have lots of time. it has very fine polishers that are designed to maintain the finish rather than wear it away and a light chemical cleaner, plus carnauba wax.
i like to use clay and the 3 step. 1) per-wax cleaner. 2) sealer and glaze. 3) pure carnauba wax.
i usually clay once a year, do the 3 step, and then every 2 months i apply sealer and glaze and pure carnauba wax. later.
