lip,
Langka works very well, once you get used to it. A little bit goes a long way. Langka even removes graffiti. See my thread "Here's Something to Make You Cringe..." in this forum for the details.
First things first, make sure you wash your car BEFORE using the clay bar. This will remove 98% of the things that can scratch your paint in the first place.
Regarding the clay bar, yes, the bad stuff is pushed into the clay. I use a piece the size of a quarter to a half-dollar. Use lots of lubrication (ie-the quick detailer spray or whatever was packaged in the kit). The lubrication is what stops most of the scratching from occurring.
The clay bar is excellent for removing bugs and tar.
If the clay bar piece falls on the ground, throw that piece away. The grit from the ground will kill your paint.
Be sure to wax your car after using the clay bar.
There is a detailing section on the main page of PTCruiserLinks. One of the topics is the use of the clay bar. It is good reading material!
Scott
