it will smear a lil if it doesn't have enough lubricant. you should just be able to rub those marks out though.

after you do the claybar with the quickspray, your supposed to immediatly wax that area with the little bottle of wax that they supplied you with.

your supposed to work a body panel at a time.

spray throughly
use claybar until you feel no more rough spots and clay glides smooth
wipe off excess spray with a terry cloth
apply wax until dry to a haze
wipe off wax with another clean terry cloth.

after you clay your sposed to wipe off right away then after doing your car in sections and finishing your whole car you go and rinse your car again. then apply sealent and/or wax and watever else you chose to do

I work at a detail shop and we never do a panel at a time...you can do the whole car and then go back and wipe it off without anything bad happening. The chemical that is sprayed on there is basically a deluted show shine (windex for your paint). If there are streaks then you can simply spray it and rub the clay bar back over it. the clay bar is going to get dirty even after you washed your car b/c if the car has any oxidation it doesn't just wash off. Waxing it afterward is an option but it will make the car look even better.

yeah when it changes the clay bar a different color thats when you know its working...thats all the contaminats coming off your paint...just follow the directions very carefully and like everyone said just do 1 body panel at a time so the lube doesnt have time to dry at all before you wipe it off.............then wax it
