You can use water as lube(not advised realy if your new to it),you can also make a lube with a decent ph neutrol shampoo like ags,if you use a cheap one ive found it attacks the clay and makes it break up

If you get the megs kit from halfords just make sure the clay bar is still inside because half the kits from halfords are always open lol

I use the auto glym kit. You get the clay bar which comes in a tin,the lube micro fibre cloth and a big rowl off they net looking polishing cloth and a little bottle of super resin polish. When ive used the clay bar the last few times ive just used a squirty bottle to keep the panel im doing wet.
