Quick tip if your clay keeps going hard in the cold weather, have a bowl of hot water to hand and just drop it in when required. Or break your bar in two and keep one piece in the water and swap over when required.

No problem getting clay wet, I don't bother drying the car before I clay it. The products you should keep away from clay are solvent based such as Tardis, it will destroy the clay. I find the best lube is Megs last touch diluted with water.
