What kind of car and what is the condition of the car?

If clay is not used properly, it will induce scratches/marring. Use a mild clay grade, and use LOTS of lubricant, especially if the car is in decent shape. Don't scrub your car with the clay with pressure. Let the clay glide on the surface until it is smooth.

Break up your clay into 3 peices and use one at a time. If you drop it, throw it out, you will pick up dirt/sand that will definitely scratch.

Motor City, Smprince, General Lee & Accumulator are spot on the advice.
