There is a bit of a balance you need to strike... it is possible to OVER lubricate and make the claying less effective. Essentially the ideal scenario is just enough lubrication to allow the clay to slide without catching.

Too much and the clay rides over the top and doesn't make full contact with the contamination, too little and the clay drags which leads to marring.
