too bad it took me like 3hrs. I am doing something wrong?

The carnuba really adheres to the paint, which is a good thing! Enjoy the shine

Just helped my neighbor clay bar his black Porsche turbo to remove some light over spray and prep the paint for some waxing. We used the Mothers clay bar kit. The clay bar worked incredibly well and was really easy to use, it left a rough to the touch finish smooth like glass. We then hand waxed it with Mothers pure carnuba paste... it looked simply awesome. I used some of the show car finish detail spray that came with the clay bar kit (you need to spray this on the paint while clay baring) on my Benz and it worked great, I compared it side by side to Meguiars detail spray and it left the paint much smoother to the touch. These detail sprays are to be used in between waxings.
