Im on the look out for a clay bar for the Cavalier, but have a few questions...
What weight/size? 50g?
Will i need a lubricant or will water be ok?
What exactly do i do with it? (i have a rough idea, but im not sure?)
Cheers folks.

Most need a lube but there are one or two that dont.
If you are starting from scratch the megs clay kit has everything you need in it 
Was impressed with the results I got with mine
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

Use lots of lube. Doing it dry will leave chafe.

Bilt Hamber and cut it into 4 - will last 4 cars then
Can use normal water - eg just leave car wet after washing and spritz a bit extra on too.

Oh and work in small sections, in circular movements, you will hear it rubbing on the paintwork, when it goes quiet, it's removed as much as it can and you can move on. Turn the clay regularly and make sure you keep the surface wet.

Do you just rub it over the car like you would a sponge?
