For you pros out there, could you tell me why I would want to invest good money in a nanoskin towel instead of sticking with my bar of clay? Whats the pros of going with the towel, or better yet, the cons of sticking with my playdo (laugh). If it will help me do quality work and make cash Im all for it. Help me understand.
 
Advantages of the Nanoskin Autoscrub Towel.

  • More cost effective (lasts considerably longer than clay)
  • Can be rinsed off if dropped on ground (clay bar should be discarded at that point)
  • Takes considerably less time than claying (time is money)

I meant *wash mitt - you can actually use this while you wash the vehicle (saving you the most time).

The Autoscrub SPONGE is a less expensive alternative to the Autoscrub Towel, but essentially works the same way (it won't last as long though).

Whether you decide to go with the towel, sponge or wash mitt, you'll surely be impressed. :dblthumb2:
 
I LOVE the towel. It's bigger than clay, requires no kneading, and can be rinsed off if it falls on the ground. I love the idea of clay alternatives, as they provide a faster way of decontaminating a vehicle.

I have the auto scrub pads for the da, and while they are effective and time saving, I personally find them to be a bit of a hassle when compared to the auto scrub towel. The towel is fast, easy, and provides feedback like clay to let you know when the surface is smooth. If I were you, I'd DEFINATELY pick up the towel. Just remember, NO PRESSURE when using, otherwise you risk the chance of marring. However, when used in conjunction with a polishing afterwards, it's the way to go.

The wash mitt and the sponge both have their place, but the wash mitt impresses me the most. The first time I used it was on a fairly heavily contaminated vehicle and I was short on time. I could not believe how fast the Nanoskin mitt removed all of the bonded contaminants and left a smooth surface. I was using the fine grade version and I had no issues with marring and the time savings in my case was impressive.

I second that! What REALLY impresses me about the wash mitt is how durable it is.
 
While we're on the topic of the Nanoskin, what speed would you guys use with the Nanoskin Autoscrub pad for my Griots Garage DA buffer?

The wash mit rocks!
it will save you hours!
you "clay" as you wash, no spraying and wiping.
I do this all the time and it rocks.
The DA pad is for really contaminated cars and will save your arm, also I use this as I wash saving me hours, especialy on a full size SUV that has never been detailed.

Here's a pic of a 92 Supra that had "chalk" for paint. I could have never cleaned the paint this deep with clay.

Look closely at the bubbles and you can see the dirt.

Why do you find them more of a hassle? (Just wondering cos I haven't used my Auto Scrub yet)

Now I am going to have to order the towel lol
 
The fact of the matter is that although most of us at this point have thrown our clay away, I've found that in my own experience that clay substitutes in many cases don't remove contaminants as good as clay does.

I'm not talking about speed. I'm talking about removing those heavily contaminated situations where clay is still king.

Well I ordered the sponge, but next time Ill order the mitt. Sometimes I need to slow down and smell the roses, its all an investment.
