just a question, why do you use soapy water and detail spray to keep it wet? Ive used clay for the past 5-6 years and never used water, always just detail spray. might be using it wrong, which is why im asking. i never had an issue with clay in one hand and spary in the other just keeping it wet.

He used soapy water just for additional lubrication. I personally just use spray detailer, but I go crazy heavy with it to keep everything very wet, but that can get expensive after a while Which reminds me, I need to clay and wax my car.

if you use a dish soap it also helps in getting any old wax off so you get down to bare paint.

Dawn and/or Orange Degreaser cleaner work wonders and save you a lot of headache. I don't use any clay lub when claying the GTP. I just use the water itself, makes it easier and more financially appealing.

You don't want to do it all the time or else it will dry out the rubber trim pieces. It is fine to do it once or twice a year when you are doing a full strip clay and polish detail
