Fear not the clay bar
I cut my bar in half before using and it was fine. It was actually a good thing I did because I dropped it on the ground halfway through and had to throw it away. Note my car is less than a week old so I the bar didn't remove very much at all except around the tires.
I actually have a question on this... When I clayed my car I think I went a bit overboard using the lubricant for it and ended up with a lot of it left on my car. Following the instructions, I wiped it off with a microfiber towel, but on I think the Adams video, they show just going ahead and adding the polish with the left over lube still on. After claying, removing lube, polishing, removing polish, waxing, removing wax I was honestly about ready to collapse.
So, what do you all do when you clay, do you remove the lube, then polish or just add the polish over the lube remaining on your car?
Of course, since I spent all this time on my car a week ago, we have had rain every afternoon and my car now looks bad, and the weather forcast... rain for the next 10 days... Sigh...

However I'm no expert but I would think that the lube would put a layer between the polish/sealant and your paint/clearcoat thereby blocking the polish/sealant from reaching the paint/clearcoat layer. No clue if that's correct or not.
Let's see what Lonely Raven thinks.
