^yup, wash the car, dry it up, then apply the liquid clay bar to sections of the car(rub it in good), wash off the clay bar with water, then when your finished with whole car, wax and polish.

If you know how to clay, I can't see this taking less time. You still are applying it to one section at a time a rubbing it in. It's basically the same motion and steps you'd do with real clay. I can clay my G in 20 minutes if even, how long does this stuff take?

Looks good nonetheless.
You don't need to buy a separate "lubricant".
You don't have to constantly fold and need your clay.
You don't have to wash your car before using (although I did )
Also, the ICE Liquid Clay Bar says it is a 3 in on. Stain Remover, Wash, and Clay.

No, definately not like a wax. This will remove wax if anything. The main thing that clay does that you want is it removes deposits out of your paint. To give you an idea. Wash your car and rub your hand accross the paint. You'll notice that it might feel like sand paper. Fresh off of the dealership mine did. After you clay your car it will be silky smooth. The reason being, is things get smashed into your paint all the time. Brake dust, dirt, metal shavings, etc. You are effectively pulling all of that out when you clay your car.

No, I'm too scared to try
I do have a Porter Cable, though
