I don't know if it was the weather or what ( dry air ) but the detailing spray that is used with the clay bar would start to dry almost instantly. It made it really hard because i would be spraying while running the clay bar and a towel around my neck to dry it off as fast as possible before it dried ( residue didn't want to come off when dry ) which was a bit clumsy to juggle all three at the same time. Maybe if I had more practice with 'claying' i would like it better but honstly i don't think my car really needed to be 'clayed.'
On a side note I was really impressed with the Meguiar's paint cleaner. It's there first step in their three step system ( polish= step 2, finishing wax=step3). I will probably just pick up the other two bottles and do the three steps in there system.
redgoober4life: thanks for the compliment, and the detailing tips. Cleared up a lot of things for me. Thank you.
