Synthetic clay storage

[PaulMys]

Ok, what do you guys do?

Back when I used clay bars, I'd just spritz them with QD and baggie them.

I have had the nanoskin sponges and Griot's Brilliant Finish for two seasons now.

First season, I tried a similar method. Sprayed them with QD and tried to seal them in an airtight bag. Both kind of stuck to the bag, and I had to carefully separate the bag from the sponges.

Last year, I soaked them with QD, and put a piece of wax paper on the face of each, then sealed them in bags.

This seemed to work a lot better, but I was wondering exactly how you guys store the synthetic clay alternatives?

I still store them into it's original packaging with the hole. No issue so far!

i store my clay block dry in a ziploc bag (with a few holes so it can breath without the risk of mold) with some paper backing of leftover skateboard griptape (similar to wax paper if not the same) i had...

I've got the Griot's mitt. I store mine face up in a plastic to-go tupperware container from a local Mexican restaurant. Fits perfect size wise, gives it some clearance to the face of the mitt. They even had a little breather hole knocked into the lid. Eldorado2K got my back up container.

Leaving it in the stock package I worried about it sticking.

I just let them sit on a shelf to dry, and then store them face up. I never even sprayed my clay bars with QD before storage. They don't come wet so I never really figured they'd need to be stored wet.

Does anyone have or use the NanoSkin 7x7 Handy Towel? I'm considering trying it out, and am curious how useful others believe it is. And how would someone store it after being used?

+1. That's exactly what I do. I store them back in original package after completely drying on a rack.

Seemed to work well for me. Gets pretty good reviews on AG
and Amazon. It seems to me that being flexible should be better at fitting contours of car better than a stiff synthetic clay like mothers turtle shell looking thing that I also have.

I store it by folding in half on micro fiber side and then putting it in middle of folded mf towel. Dry.

I wasted a few sponges before I found a solution that works.

Here is what I do now and I have never lost an other sponge since I started doing this:

I have 2 sponges, a fine and a medium. I have 1 ziplock sandwich bag but a small plastic container would work as long at the sponges won't be able to move inside the container.

All you have to do is use a sheel of parchemin paper (the stuff used for cooking) or waxes paper would also work and wrap each sponge before putting them in the bag/container. The will not stick to this paper even if you leave them in the truck where it will get very hot.

Yeah, the wax paper worked well for a "non-stick".
