most important thing is pressure, best way to keep our soft paint nice is to touch it as little as possible, NEVER scrub your paint if there is a bug or tar on the car use the proper bug/tar remover

OK, so when claying a section of the car, move the bar gently UP and DOWN the car (roof to floor) instead of LEFT and RIGHT (bumper to bumper).

could the swirling patterns going side to side that your class talked about be more due the the inherent properties of the painting process rather than due to the owners "scrubbing" their paint the wrong way?

anything special about 'clay'? or can I use them Micheal's art store coupons and buy a bucket for cheap? :-)

Thanks

lol I don't know if you're kidding, but go to an auto parts store and get a clay bar. Don't use actual clay from a hobby store unless you're planning on making pottery on your car.
