water is not enough, if you really want to cheap out, just use some soapy water. I say just go to the nearest auto parts store and buy a bottle of quik detailer, it's made by meguiars and they are available almost everywhere. It may not be the same brand as your clay bar, but it'll do the job.

If you already have a car wash that has very good lubrication, just mix a double strong batch and use that as the clay lube. It will cost you nothing extra and it works just as well as quick detailer spray, but you might not have the convenience of a spray bottle.

Nope claying is pretty straight forward
