How to factory reset 2011 MacBook Air?

Hello, I'm trying to find out how to restore my MacBook Air to factory settings fresh, is this possible?


The only answers I can find involve using a system disc/usb, but neither of these came with the laptop; can I request them from somewhere?



Many thanks!

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

CMD + R after pressing the power button (Restore mode), then follow the prompts from there.

Now if its Snow Leapard, you will need the Snow Leapard disk, then, you will need to boot up using 'option' or 'CMD + C' then restore it.
