How to use clay for car detailing?

• The best thing about clay detailing is that it is
  completely non-abrasive and safe. The treatment
  is designed to remove brake dust, acid rain
  deposits, bird dropping residue and other
  unwanted grime. On average, it is recommended
  that you use the clay treatment at least twice
  every year. If you do not have the time, you can
  look for car interior cleaning services that
  provide clay treatment for your vehicle. Heres a
  look at the steps involved in using clay for car
  detailing
• Step 1 Wash and dry the car Before you actually
  go for the clay bar treatment, you need to first
  wash your car properly so that you remove all the
  dust and grime that covers the vehicle. You can
  either wash the car on your own or get
  a professional car cleaning service to make sure
  the job gets done. Cleaning your car before you
  implement clay treatment will make your job a
  whole lot easier.

• Step 2 Spray the clay lubricant After you
  finish washing your car, take a can of lubricant
  spray. Shake the can well and then spray the
  lubricant on a small area of your car. Make sure
  you spray within an area of two square feet only,
  no more. You can add a second layer of spray in
  the same area if required.
• Step 3 Rub with a clay bar Once the area is
  sprayed with lubricant, you can take a clay bar
  and gently rub the surface in a back and forth
  manner. You may notice that the clay bar will
  grab the surface at first, and there will be
  resistance however, this only means the clay bar
  is pulling contaminants out of the paint.

• Step 5 Store the bar with lubricant After you
  finish with the clay treatment, it is important
  to store the bar properly. Preferably, the bar
  should be stored in the original case in order to
  preserve it. However, you can also use an
  airtight plastic bag or container to preserve the
  car bar for future use. Be sure to spray the bar
  with lubricant to keep it moist before you store
  it. As far as possible, it would help if you
  stored the bar in temperatures above 200 F.
• Step 6 Wax your car Keep in mind that clay
  treatment needs to be followed up with a wax or
  sealant job. Since the clay treatment will remove
  your existing coat of way, it is important to wax
  the car immediately after you use the clay bar.
  The clay bar usually leaves microscopic holes
  where contaminants were present those holes need
  to be sealed with was to protect the paint from
  corrosion.
