Normally, when I want to do something, I just do it. This has worked out well in some cases and some I've learned from my mistakes. However, this past week, I had a little more time on my hands so I started doing some research about claybar-ing. Then some more. And then some more. Basically I researched to a point where I start doubting myself and questions arose that probably shouldn't. After reading a bunch of posts and youtube videos on process, I was confident and excited at first, now I'm a bit intimidated. I read that there are different types of clay for different colors, different clay for beginners so you don't mess up paint, etc. I know people have different preferences and what not, but any good product recommendations/tips for a beginner? Am I just thinking too much? Any help appreciated.

Buy the kit that comes with the clay and the spray

Wash the car including a light scrub with whatever you normally use to get dirt off that won't rinse away.

don't over-think it.

make sure to not clay bar the vehicle 1) when it is sitting in the sun and 2) when the surface you are clay baring is warm to the touch. hope this helps.
