Default Clay Bar & Collinite 845

I just ordered my Clay Bar and Collinite 845 to use. I have read "hundreds" of posts here about many success stories. I think I know what to do based upon these posts and I will be anxious to give it a try. Any last minute suggestions or pointers?

It doesn't take much of the wax, make sure you shake it well, and apply thinly, and its okay to get it on plastic, also works great on the windows!

Hmm clay bar huh well got to tell you that you won't regret I clay barred mine at the beginning of the year I use to have to wash my very week because it looked dirty. After I clay barred my truck it can got a full month and still looks like a mirror. But tip one rinse of all the dirt debris off the truck first or you will scratch it. If the clay begins to stick to your finger spray the lubricant on your fingers or use lotion. This is what I did washed clay barred, washed, Magguiars spray wax then mothers carranuba wax, followed by mothers back to black plastic restore total about 16-20 hours but well worth it

Will it be safe or beneficial to use the 845 on my Roll n Lock bed cover?
