Is there any real tips that can help I'm interested in doing for first time too. Best clay? What steps to do first? Thanks brothers. I think the girl needs to be devirginized to clay and really make her shine baby smooth

Consumer grade clays are all the same - get whatever kit your local store has - Meguiars, Mothers, Clay Magic. Make sure you have plenty of quick detailer spray for a clay lube - the Megs and Mothers kits come with a bottle, I don't know about Clay Magic. First step is wash, then you clay. The vehicle doesn't have to be completely dry to clay it.

Are you guys claying inside or outside? I don't have a garage, so I have to do it all outside. What type of weather should I try for? Heard claying in the sun is a bad idea. Any insight?

I'm not expert, but I do it outside too, but in the shade. Keeps the truck cooler and I don't think some waxes should be applied in direct sunlight.

Don't clay in the sun or try to clay a hot surface. The lube dries out way too fast. Try for cloudy and cool if you must do it outside.

No, a cloudy day so you don't start shredding the clay on the surface and marring it. If you try to do it in the sun you will go through 3 bottles of QD.

I don't have the option to do it in the shade of any sort. I pretty much always end up doing it in the sun. If you can do it in the shade then you should but if you can't I think you're going to be alright.
