You don't need the orbital if you're just doing your personal vehicle. I clay'd my '03 Silverado Ext cab a few times and it takes about a half hour to do the whole truck. You can get the Mcguiars or the Mothers clay bar kit (comes w/ the clay bar and the detailer spray) for about 10-15 bucks at any auto parts store. It's really easy to use, just follow the directions on the box and like already said, make sure to keep the surfaces lubricated to avoid it binding up on a dry section of your paint and you'll be fine. You barely have to apply any pressure at all. The bar will actually pick up the debris in the paint. It gets embedded into the bar. Make sure you "knead" the bar occasionally. This will help it renew itself. I just check it periodically and if it starts looking contaminated with debris, wad it all up and knead it around then stretch out a fresh piece. Have fun and good luck. You'll be happy with the results. It makes a big difference.
