I too have had great success w/ clay bars-- and Lube IS the key.
However, I htink the detailing spray is a waste.  The first few times, I
bought Mother's brand, that comes w/ detaling spray. This spray worked
fine, but no better than good old H20 that I use exclusively now.  You
also get a much bigger hunk of "clay" for your money buying someone
elses.  Ex: Mothers gives you 2oz of clay, with useless detailing
spray and a sample of wax for $15.  Excel gives you 8oz of clay, in
bigger, more usable chunks (2 x 4oz) for $25.
