Default Clay bar question

Decided to clay bar my Genesis soon. I know the car has to be washed first of course...My question is can I get away with using just a lot of water with the clay bar? Or,instead of water use detailing spray and clay then wipe down with a microfiber towel..?



I rather just use water and clay bar after I wash the car......Detailing spray and clay bar seems like a lot of work....I figure since the car has to be waxed after clayed, it would be easier just to use water and clay bar..



Anybody ever just use a lot of water and clay bar? How were your results? My paint is in nice shape,but if you run your hands over it you can feel the slight roughness in some spots...

Get a kit and use the spray that comes with the bar. It will do a better job and be easier at the same time. Yes clay is a lot of work, like hours possibly.

Using a lot of water is fine if you already have the clay bar.

Purchase the kit or buy a couple bottles of quick detailer to use.
