use one spray of the claybar spray, then just glide the clay on the surface of the vehicle. Keep spreading out the lubricant until the claybar starts to "grab" excessively. When this happens, just spray more lubricant onto the surface. Pretend the claybar is a knife and the lubricant is butter...when the knife starts to chatter over the bread, you would need more butter. If this does not help, just ask some more. Where are you located? I am in NY if you want to meet so I can show you some wash, dry, and polishing techniques.
