Default How do I use a clay bar?

I have never used a clay bar.
Where do I buy the clay bar kit? Is everything in the kit that I will need to do the entire car......I dont want to go back to the store to pick up additional items in the middle of cleaning . Are there any tricks to do it?

Buy the kit, spray a section of the car with the lube, run the clay over it until you basically hear no more of the scratching from the clay pulling contaminants out of the paint, wipe lube off with a microfiber, repeat over entire car; being sure to rework the clay so you can get as clean a piece of clay for each section of the car. Be amazed at how smooth/clean your paint will be.

I love the Poorboys clay bars found below in my signature. I sell them cause I love them. The over the counter stuff is ok. But they don't do as good of a job.

And don't bother using the spray as lube. You can use soapy water to lube the clay with a fresh bucket of water/car soap after you wash the car.
