Mike,

Curious to know are the Nanoskin Auto Scrub and the Speedy Surface Prep Towels safe for claying off paint over spray and road paint thrown up by tires from vehicles? I get several overspray vehicles each year and clay usually takes care of them, but after trying the Nanoskin Auto Scrub and the Speedy Surface Prep Towels at the Evansville GTG I can't help but think its time to ditch the clay. Didn't know since they are larger paint contaminates.

Thanks,

Eric

At the Chicago get together , Divine Details brought in a car that had some type of industrial over spray on it that was over a year old if my memory is correct. He had gotten most of it off by polishing but some remained on the sunroof and few other places. The Speedy Prep Towel (medium) took off that which was remaining very easily. IMO I would use these towels and do a test spot first but I think you will find that they can do the job just fine. In all fairness keep in mind that there are all kinds of over spray which may require different removal techniques.
 
Thanks for the insight! I figured they would handle it after see their results in the GTG, but I will just start with a test spot and see how it does first hand. My typicall overspray cars comes from companies spray painting fencing, buildings, etc and not having their mixtures right. Typically sprayed paint like this is suppose to cure in 3-5 seconds and not stick to vehicles... but it never fails, each summer I get a phone call with about 10 cars that got oversprayed! If the towel or pad can handle it, I could possibly cut down my removal time in half!
 
I must say that I was really impressed with Mr. Phillips' demonstration of both products. I can see some real benefits going from clay to the speedy prep towel, or the nanoskin product, that I couldn't envision before the demonstration. I can also see where both products, not just one, would be beneficial to a detailer's arsenal.
 
Both tools are also very easy to learn how to use and master...

I missed the first few minutes on the speedy towel, which grade is recommended for overall general, light/average bonded contaminants? I see 3 grades.

Thanks!
 
I only needed one demo of that Nanoskin to know thats getting put in the cart to buy this winter. I usually try and stock up in the winter and this will be SO much beter than clay. THis alone made the Evansville get together worth it alone.

For some reason I was sure this will be a video about using the Autoscrub pads on a DA... Will there be one anytime soon?

Have you ever used a DA to apply a wax? If so, it's a very similar process. Place the autoscrub pad on the DA then spray the pad down with a proper lubricant, then liberally lubricate the surface you'll be working on. Turn the speed dial on your DA to speed 2-3, or 3-4 (note speed 3 is the middle of the two choices), place the DA on the surface and then turn it on. With a well lubricated pad AND surface Mr. Phillips seemed to use a fairly fast arm speed, if I recall correctly.

I've yet to do this myself, but I watched Mr. Phillips demonstrate the process and it is pretty straight forward and really that easy. I was impressed enough that I now have a much better grasp of how much of a time saver this is going to be. Huge time saver, for sure. That means more money in my pocket for my time. Time is money.
