Spray some of the QD onto an area of the car covering roughly a 2' x 2' section then just start lightly rubbing the clay over the paint. It doesn't take a lot of pressure, hardly any at all in fact. You'll feel the clay start to slide very easily as bonded contaminants are removed. You can actually move the clay over the surface fairly quickly and should be able to do the entire car in under 30 minutes. As you finish claying an area wipe off the excess QD spay with the microfiber towel and move on to the next section. Continue this process over the entire painted surface of the car. ... Oh, and if you couldn't tell, I could talk about this stuff all day long!!! Sorry.
