You do AMAZING work. Everytime.
I don't know what it is but spending a day detailing cars like this is such a soothing, "zen"-like task for me, I love it!

How do you keep the clay from sticking to your fingers??

clay will stick in different temps etc. less pressure would be my first suggestion, more clay lube would be my second suggestion.
