Judging from what you're seeking, you're probably eager to try out detailing on your own huh? Trust me, it's well worth the hours and sweat and toil you put in. Seriously, nothing beats the satisfaction of washing, rinsing and detailing your own ride, and reaping the fruits of your labour at the end of the session, and driving around with a slightly smug grin. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Anyhow, using a clay is pretty straightforward. There's a wealth of "how-to" websites and forums on the internet which can help you. I believe some of the older threads here by members would also come in handy, especially those by KC, Seech, John Smith and etc. Most importantly, the surface of the car must be clean and dust free before you run the clay bar over. And get a simply spray bottle filled with water or even lubricants like Quik Detailer or ONR diluted with water. Surface must be wet when you run the claybar, whichever direction you prefer. If you find it hard to glide it over a certain area, try making it more moist, and repeat the gliding. For me, if you really want to know whether the surface is practically smooth like a mirror, try gliding the claybar across an area, and see whether it slides around without snagging or stopping abruptly anywhere. And also, keep folding the claybar after some time, and start on a fresh clean surface. Or else the dirt which had already been picked up will be in contact with the surface again, and potentially marring it further without you realizing it.Do the same if you accidentally drop the claybar on the floor, since it tends to attract loose dirt easily.Hope that helps. I've just given a rather simple instruction bro. Haha. Try reading up on the web, Meg's website is a good place to start research too. :top:Oh yea, before I forget, once you're done claying, make sure to finish off with a nice layer of wax or polish, and the shine and smoothness will be AWE-Inspiring-SOME. Hahaha. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
