CLAY BAR
I'm going to use the clay bar for the first time. Are there any do's or don'ts I should be aware of. The directions are vague but seem simple enough.

I first washed it, then I want around and removed all the larger tar spots with some WD40. Then I clayed it. It seemed to remove all of the small tar and road scum. Swirl x then a coat of tech 2.0. The car came out great. I used the Meguiars clay kit. Those of you that have not tried it should. It's an all day project but worth it. Needs to be done in the shade and not that windy. Like doughnutboy97 said it needs to stay wet.

Ok I will see what I can do. I have been working 3rd shift last week and this week also. Kind of tired. I'm trying to get it ready for Collinsville and these hours are killing me. I will set you all up shortly.
