I turned the clay a lot and used a lot of soapy water to keep the clay lubed up, but it just kept picking up so much stuff (after a good wash with Dawn) that it seemed like I couldn't fold the clay enough to keep it clean. I'll bet I folded 50 times, and I also switched out the clay so much that I used up the full amount of clay that came from Zaino in that kit.

You shouldn't be turning the clay. You should be folding it. Always fold the dirty side in so you are always exposing clean clay to your car. It shouldn't scratch. I've been using Zaino clay bars for quite a while and have never had this problem. If it ever touches the ground, throw it away.
Anybody have any advice on how to not drop them while claying. It generally takes me about 3 bars to do one car because it always sticks, then falls.
