Get to

Detailing World - A world for detailers by detailers.

Order through one of their sponser sites some Sonus fine detailing clay.
Guaranteed no scratch.
Two bars for about £13
Mix up your own lube.
I use diluted NXT car wash in an old dettox bottle

There's a demo video on the Meguiars site. They use Quik Detailer to act as a lubricant.

Just clayed my civic with clay magic from i4detailing.co.uk. see the link in cleaning section got 7.5% off and fast delivery.
very easy to use but i did run out of the lube so i mixed my own with zymol car wash fantastic finish , no marking at all and glass like smoothness .
Tried it on my wheels and it lifted most of the black spots that washing just cant remove you all know what i mean..... lol (LOOK LIKE NEW AGAIN)
Gave it a very quick seal with nxt and i can honestly say the difference is very noticeable. looking at getting some bilt-hamber balm or collinite 915 for a proper shiney motor
