jam, maybe ali can explain it better, but when you clay, you need a lube so the clay can glide accross your paint, because it is very very sticky, so to make a lube, mix 1/2 capfull of z-7 and 16 ozs of water in a spray bottle, and use that with your clay bar(blue magic)

lol, no, you dont dissolve anything.....the way you clay is....put 16 ounces of water in a spray bottle, put 1/2 capfull of z-7, mix it up by shaking the bottle.....get you clay from wrapper, cut it into 4 pieces, get one piece and the bottle and go by the car....spray the car 2 ft by 2 ft with 4 or 5 sprays of the mix, and rub clay into paint and use no force, let it glide on, go over the area 4-5 times, to make it smooth, after 3-4 2x2 areas, fold clay over to show a new unused piece of clay, and keep on doing that untill your car is done, i hope this helps

lol, of course, but it isnt hard man, believe me, ask justins64 or alboston, i bothered them with so many questions they could have killed me....but after i did it, i think it is as easy as 1-2-3....it just takes time, but on a new mb, like a e500, claying would take less than 15 minz, it is very very easy, and you dont have to fold as much at all
