How to use clay?

[szyp]

In my 65 years, I have owned and detailed many fine cars, and believe me I have used every new product the market ( I am an auto supplier's dream). Zymol gives the pina colada feeling about as long as it takes to apply, and I could go on and on. I am in the slow process (weather here in NJ this time of year is not the best) and have used clay before with excellent results. My question is: I just bought the Pinnacle clay bar,lubricant, and holder for my newly acquired Mercedes C300 (2008) with extremely low mileage (9800) and and am wondering if there is some special trick I can use to make sure I use the clay properly. All suggestions (serious) are welcome. Thak you

Hi szyp,

I found the above in a thread about making a scooter's paint more glossy and while you can tag a question onto someone else's thread sometimes it's better to start your own "Dedicated Thread" with a title that tells people the information you're looking for and that way you'll get more and better replies.

So I took the liberty to extract our post out of the other thread and create for you your very own thread.... hope you don't mind.
