Nicey

Always been a little intimidated by the claybar, but mine could really use it. Do we have a how-to here? is it hard or touchy by any means?

well use some good claybar , go with solid one, not agressive, what`s in auto stores should work. use with a lot of lube that come`s with, don`t do it in the sun , keep the claybar in middle of the palm and don`t push or press with fingers , press light with palm.
use the lube that`s in the box or any quick detailer should work. of course wash the car before u claybar the car, wipe dry the car after claybar or rinse again and dry.
u may do panels twice if the clay doesn`t slide easy. u keep eye on claybar if any gritt stone or any dirt , remove!
after one panel or more often if dirty keep mold the claybar to a clean surface.
u can claybar the windows too (exterior only)
good luck!

Looks good. I think you might be able to get into the 90% correction range if you seal it up with a glaze and a good wax. Did you use hand technique or a polisher?
