Default claybar use question

I plan on spending the day washing and waxing my car. After washing I will be using a claybar for the first time. Do I wash the car again after using it? I will also be using 3Ms IHG followed by Blitz Wax.

Default You don't have to wash the car again if you use a mixture of car wash soap/water to claybar

DON'T waste the quick detailer. Mix in a spray bottle your car wash soap with water. Use 2x as much car wash soap as you'd normally use. Douse that over each section you clay bar and spray the bar REPEATEDLY (car and bar). Since its just soap, and it's cheap as hell, use a ton of it.

When yours done, just spray the car down with the hose.

You could do a really quick rewash, but I found it unnecessary when I did my car.

Default I do, but as HDClown said, it's probably unnecessary.

As I clay each panel (I also use soap solution as a lubricant), I'll follow with a soapy wash mitt to remove any residue that the clay leaves behind. If you've lubricated well, there shouldn't be any residue.
