Just try it -- it's a lot easier than you think. There isn't some magical method. Use lots of lube and move the clay around.

They should. They usually have the blue Clay Magic kit which comes with a clay lube. Around $15

+1. By the way, I was told that Blue Clay holds the patent on the clay. I like blue clay better than Meguiare's. I haven't used CG's yet. they have 3 kind: soft, medium, and hard.
