Thanks in advance for any tips from the experts.

Scott,

Just make sure you keep the area where you're claying well lubricated and you'll be fine.

Here's my method;

1. Wash car and do not dry
2. Mix 1 capful of Zaino car wash with water in a spray bottle
3. Spray an area about 6" x 6" wih solution and move clay across surface using very light pressure.
4. Check clay periodically for debris and knead to a clean surface as needed.
5. Upon completion, re wash and dry car.
6. Begin polishing.
