Planning on ordering some car care "stuff". What kind of clay bar kit do i need?
And do you think i will get my moneys worth from a random orbital thingy? I have never canuba waxed or anything.using the liquid spray and wipe immediately stuff (wizards?), which i like. A lot.

I was always hands on and detailed. The first car I ever clayed was this Z. I used Meguiars. Im sure all the top names will be sufficient. I have not used a buffer before. Ive been lucky the cars Ive had have usually had decent finishes. A nice orbital would be good to have in the arsenal though!

I use a diluted ONR (Optimum No Rinse) mixture for clay lube. You can also use clay lube. I have pretty much stopped using clay in favour of an Auto Scrub. You can get an Auto Scrub in pad form (for use with a DA), towel form, and even wash mitt. They are quicker and easier to use with the same results as clay. They last longer than clay making them cheaper in the long run.

Be careful using clay or products that do the same job as clay on your car, the paint is soft and black will show marring easily.

The consistent wisdom is that or quick detailer. The kit I used had clay and quick detailer as the lubricant. Was no problem at all. The results were excellent. I did watch a good video from one of the major detailing companies on how to use the clay and did as instructed. Very very easy and fun to feel the paint so smooth!
