good east kit. i had it. just do this.

1. Wash
2. Dry
3. Clay (WHOLE CAR)
4. wash again
5. dry again
6. Wax.

Make sure you wax it for sure after you clay it.

i like to use a compund and a polish then a finale wax after i clay. make sure i got the paint all nice and good.

why are you guys drying after the first wash???

you are literally drying just to spray lubricant and it wont matter....you dnt have to dry the first time...you shouldnt be doing this in the sun at all and if you run out of lubricant dont sweat it...just mix up some soap and water in the bottle and you will be good to go...

I used it also, I did the steps from post number 2. Make SURE you use lots of lube and cut the clay bar in good size pieces so if it falls you can use the others. Good luck!

I used it and it works great. Just make sure you wash your vehicle before using it.
