Hi,

it is necessery to dry the car after you wash it to pass the claybar on paint ?

You don't have to wash the car after claying. If you're going to wax afterwards just use a Pre wax cleanser or ipa wipe down or paint prep such as Klean Strip prep all to remove oils and lubricants.

If you are using a no rinse wash you don't have to dry to clay because no rinse wash can also be used as a clay lube

I don't dry the car before claying

unless you are using car soap as your clay lube, there is also no need to wash the car again after claying...

wash

clay
wash

what i would like to do its cut a step

Wash

car will be dried pretty much as you wipe off the clay lube.

You can take a blower to the seams, mirrors, and gas cap areas if you like too.

So claying with soap means rinse again of course...

But is there any other home made clay lubricants.. that stuff gets expensive!

You dilute it so it ends up being pretty good
