Appreciate such a useful tip. Since I am only maintaining 3 cars this will go a long ways in extending my clay....since I only use it about 3 times a year on fairly clean cars the extra time used cleaning the clay is not material.

Now if I could just find a way to safely clean off clay after I drop it. It doesn`t happen often but happens when you let your mind wander instead of concentratining on what you are doing.
I have often thought about taking a large, clean bath towel and laying it on the ground where I am claying. If the clay falls on that, it should be OK I would guess again so long as the towel was clean.
I vote for you to have a new nick name. David "The Dentist" Fermani sounds good for your avocation of the dental utensils, LOLzz2:
Awesome! Thank you so much david for the help. =)

But, unless you aren`t kneading your clay on the whole car I really don`t think this takes that long to do. Short version: spray degreaser on clay>>aggitate with fingers or small brush>>dunk in wash bucket>>Next.
For this demo I wanted to really get the clay bar dirty(within reason) so I rubbed it over the lower portion of the front door where all the road tar and heavy build up of contaminants usually are. The only way around this would have been to do a solvent wipe down prior to claying. I`m a firm believer that it`s not a good idea to wait for the bad to get this bad before cleaning/kneading.

You should also spray liberal amounts of clay lube in the container you store your clay in because you don`t use it often. This will help when you go to remove it next time. It`s a trick I learned during an Auto Magic training seminar.
