Honestly...I would wash with Dawn 1rst...then clay bar..wash again..then
put your wax/sealant on...this is just me though...I would not clay bar
before the first initial wash, the clay will be picking up all kind of debry.

It's amazing how simple it is to clay bar the car, and the results you get from doing it.

I saw a thread where someone tells how to cut up a clay bar for the camaro into little pieces that do not get reused or folded. Anyone have that thread?

I wash first with Meguiers Car Wash, then Clay bar, then wax.

Just pull it apart. You can use a knife, but its not necessary.

What do you use for lubricant? Can you use Maguires Quik Detailer and/or Meguires Ultimate Quik Detailer ? I have both..

Also the detailer is going to dry in some spots away from where you are claying, is that ok? Do we just wipe it off dry or spray more quik detailer on the dry quik detailer to remove it ?
