If you do a search on google for clay bar you'll find some links associated to just buying a clay bar.

Some of them are pretty expensive (like $25-30) for just the clay, but you typically get a bigger clay (say 200g vs 100g) then some of the kit products.

TropiCare's clay looks like its a kickass price compared to some of the others I saw.

I have a big sheet of plastic I always lay down under the panel I'm working on just in case I drop it. Just make sure it's very clean before you lay it down.

Its easy. Just do it like your washing the car. Use your sponge to put soap onto the area your going to clay and then go to town.

As said above the deatailer is going to dry and then the clay will stick to the car wich is a bitch to take off.

I just mix a fresh batch off soap in a bucket but a spray bottle sound like a good idea. I just like alot of lube to let it slide.

i found when i clayed my car that when the clay dosent drag on the paint you have done enough, i got the hang of it by the drivers side door, witch was the last part i did. it took me 4 hr to clay and wax, i bet i could do it in half the time now. i also used the kit worked great.

At Tropi-Care, we offer the 100 gram cool gray clay bar (mild composition) for $11.39. For the lube, we typically use and recommend 1/2 capful of our TC-6 Car Wash mixed with 16 ounces of distilled water for our lubricant. This mixture does not contribute to clay bar breakdown or sticking to the paint surface. Once completed, a simple rinse of the vehicle is usually sufficient.

Need to order just the clay bar or info for quantity purchases? Contact us at steve@tropi-care.com or toll-free at (866)341-0050 for special unadvertised pricing.

I have a black car and i was told that to go back and forth in the same direction and not to keep switching from up down to side to side and to not rub in circles. when i run out of the detailer i add a little soap to the bottle and fill with water.
