Is your paint smooth?

So instead of using dish soap to stip the wax, just use the clay bar? What exactly is the best way to use the clay bar?

you need to wash the car before using a clay bar, i would go ahead and wash with dish soap then anyhow. Then I put car soap in a spray bottle instead of using that quick detailer stuff, you dont have to worry about it drying on the car.

My car was rough as hell the time I finally ran my hand over it, it felt sandpaperish to me too (really I think bad orange peel is a better description). After the clay bar it was slick as glass. Just make sure to knead the clay bar like you would a gum eraser to keep it clean.

Ive used mothers and clay magic bars, I really felt like the mothers bar was better too.

So keep the car wet when using the bar?

This may be more than you wanted to know about claying but its good stuff.
