My question is; HOW EXACTY is the BEST way to USE a GRAY CARD
White balance procedure depends on your camera. Read The *Fine* Manual is the best advice you can get.
Delta 1 Gray Cards can be used to check exposure (you may find you need a minor exposure compensation to get them to function like an incident meter or a camera meter reading through an ExpoDisc — it's usually no more than 1/3 to 1/2 stop). Place in same light as subject, fill the frame without shadowing the card from the predominant light source, and make a manual reading.
When white balancing with a gray card, depending on the brand, you may want a hue offset to neutralize any residual color cast in your JPEGs.

No no NO! Never read the manual! Reading the manual is for wimps! You can check that by reading the "Real Man Manual"!

Rolling on the floor laughing!
I built a career on reading — and writing — manuals. Reading is one of the best ways to learn about most technical subjects.
