Yeah it's really dummy-proof. Good common sense (don't rub the clay on rough surfaces, without enough lubricant, etc) and you're fine.

if the claybar sticks its too dry.. also dont get it dirty and if u drop it throw it away and get a new one. When ur done with the area being worked just wipe down the area and see the awsome results

hmmmz. I would soak the car, wash it with as much detail as possible, and then shammy it dry before claybaring. just a suggestion.

Read the instructions on the back. It's really not that hard... By deploy, I hope you do not mean deploy to another country due to being in the armed forces. If you can't figure out a clay bar I don't want you hurting yourself with a gun!!!

i want to make a little tutorial on this eventually but I have worked at detail shops in the past with industrial products. You can take a wash mit and the clay while your washing the car.
