I clayed my car with this towel for the first time last week. This was my first clay experience. I've never had the pleasure of actually using (dropping) a clay bar. This towel was so simple and quick, I don't plan on ever buying a clay bar...

I folded the towel in four sections as Mike shows in the pictures on the product page. After using all four sides, I took the time to rinse the towel in plain warm water and squeeze most of the water out so that I was using the towel damp (with lube, of course). This procedure worked for me and the car came out great...

My question is, if the towel is picking up the contaminants, don't you want to rinse the contaminants off the towel a lot so that you don't just grind them into the paint? I know these haven't been on the market very long but how do you know when the towel is used up and its time to replace it?... will it stop removing contaminants or will it start to abrade and deteriorate?

Well if this is anything like the Nanoskin cloth or pad..there should be enough for 50-60 cars as I was told...alot more efficent then the typical clay bars.

I haven't touched a clay bar since I brought mine. I move a lot faster with and it cut my clay time down a lot. I use megs last touch 1:1 as my lube.

I agree with you...I just made a video of the Nanoskin and Im uploading it. Amazing product and no more clay bars for me...

The Nanoskin video is good and I too said bye bye to clay bars. Innovation is great.

I have it as well, and yep I agree with all the other positive post on this product.

I am wondering how much copy right/trademark clay has (don't know the proper wording)

Like I said, I have read that Clay has a copyright that can't be touched. But this new technology is being introduced.

Good to hear!

Yes. Cleaning often is better than not cleaning often. It's more time consuming so each person has to figure out their comfort level for how long to use the towel before doing some kind of wash/rinse of the rubber surfce.

I know these haven't been on the market very long but how do you know when the towel is used up and its time to replace it?... will it stop removing contaminants or will it start to abrade and deteriorate?

You have to pay attention to the effectiveness of the towel, that means feeling the paint before you start and then feeling it as you towel it and after you towel it. As you find the towel taking longer to get the job done this would be an indicator the rubberized surface is wearing out.

We use these towels, the wash mitts and the pads all the time, each car is different so it depends on what we're going to do.

If I'm working on a neglected car and washing it then I'll use the mitts, it's a no brainer.

IF I'm working on a classic car, since I don't wash classics I use either the towels or the pads. See this article,

Time to get busy....
The Nanoskin Autoscrub pads are incredibly effective at removing above surface bonded contaminants like paint overspray and best of all you work by machine using dual action polishers, any dual action polisher.

Mike,

When you are done with usage of the nanoskin, how do you store and clean the pad?

I know traditionally with other pads (such as a lake county pad) you would us DP's pad rejuvenator to remove the dried on compounds & polish.

Would you do the same thing with the nanoskin pad?

My fear is using a "cleaner" would deteriorate the rubber nanoskin.

Thanks!
