Re: Claying 1. I'm guessing your asking how "hard" it is to do, it's not hard but I'd do it on a cool day so not to work up a sweat.
2. How bads your car, the more junk that's on the surface of the paint the longer it will take.
3. Just wash and dry the car first and your ready for the clay bar.

Re: Claying Its not to bad. I just did mine the other day. THis is how I do it:
Wash the car with dishwashing liquid
Clay it.
Re wash with diswashing liquid
Apply Zaino.
Apply Zaino anitstatic and dust repellant spray so it wont attract dust
Plan on taking your time cause it is a process that will be in your best interest not to get in a rush

Re: Claying *I washed it with Dawn.
*Rinsed.
*Clean Dawn water with clay bar, the key is keeping the clay bar wet at all times. If it dries it will rub the paint.
*Wash with Z-7 (Zaino car wash) also use a clean wash mitten.
*Rinse
*Wash with clean water and Z-7 again, dry
* Z-1, Z-2, Z-5, taking it off with 100% white cotton towel. (Z-6 helps in this process) Make sure it says, "Made in the U.S.A.". Other places like to put poloyesters(sp) in the towel which can scratch your paint.
Next time the car needing washing I simply used the Zaino car wash and ZFX, with some Z-6. Ohhhh, ZFX
The initial process is the hardest and most time consuming. But well worth it. Just ask around.

Re: Claying Clay bar "cleans" the paint. It removed rail dust on my buddies '97 WS6 when we first Zainoed his car three months ago. That rail dust had been there since the car was brand new. I can go on and on, but that would be way too much to type. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
To get out the swirl marks, use something like Zaino Z-5. It fills swirl marks and fine scratches. With a couple of coats on, you will notice a great decrease in swirl marks.
Check out http://www.zainobros.com. Zaino is what a lot of people use and will never use anything else. Take your time, read the directions if you have never used this before. (It's not hard, just time consuming the first time.)

Re: Claying It's always a good idea to get any dents, dings, and rock chips fixed on your car. If you can't right now, don't sweat it. The clay bar will not harm your paint as long as you keep it wet and lubricated.
