Dodo Juice Born Slippy is what i use

But any quick detailer will do

There will probably be household products you could use aswell, or even a car shampoo mixed with water, anything to keep it lubed up

KY might even do the trick

A good shampoo mixed with water will do if you dont have any.

I have recently been using demon shine as a clay lube and does a pretty good job picked up 2l for about £3 its not bad as a drying aid either

The only problem with Last Touch is its full of silicon, so if correcting afterwards it will bog down your pads very quickly....

You could use Born Slippy from Dodo, Luber from Chemical Guys or simply water.....

remember, depending on the colour of car, the chances are you will inflict marring to some degree, also wanting to clay int he shade
