You will eventually get the clay bar dirty, so you have to knead it and work it so its as clean as possible. When your done with a panel run your finger across it compared to a panel not done and it should fell like glass. The detailer spray should work as a lubricant, it will take a long time and you will be sore the next day, but once your done and get a good coat of wax on you wont have to do it again. I went looking for a new container of liquid class wax yesterday and nobody has it on the shelf at autoparts stores anymore, so i bought it of their website. You may find it in an autobody supply store as well. You know you have the right one if it has like a 67 gold vette on the container. They also have new product for black plastic trim that you spray on that wont turn white I bought. Hope that helps. After your done you can use a california duster to clean the car instead of water

This is pretty much what I do. I've only washed my car once since I bought the car and that was because I got caught in the rain by accident. A good clay bar job and a quality wax will make a huge difference in the way a car looks.
