Can't understand why Firefox keeps crashing.
Couldn't be the 97 tabs, could it?

i had good experience with mother's claybar kit if off the shelf.

You'll be fine

Just check the clay regularly and fold it in half and knead it flat again for a new surface as soon as it starts to look dirty. I use the windshield to flatten it against

...and be sure to keep the surface lubricated with the spray-on wax.

yah, ive heard others (not everyone) having the same issue so just be on the look out. your car is dark so easy to visually see when hazing starts to appear. it's not the end of the world, some clays are intentionally coarse and haze on purpose.

but i doubt the 'soft' clay was suppose to.

just use scratch-x or mild polish and it will go away. in my case, it took several panels before i noticed the hazing since #1 i wasn't expecting it, #2 my car is silver.

was a pita polishing it since i wasn't planning to do any polishing that day.

if it rains on f-day (high probability), im going to polish my Z.
