Using a Speedy Prep Towel w/ soap for lube

[Eric@CherryOnTop]

I know the directions say to avoid using soap and water as lubricant, but I'm wondering what effect it would really have.

Ideally to save time, I would wash the car thoroughly, rinse, then use my soapy water from the soap bucket in the 2bm to dunk the Speedy Prep towel and wipe the car down. This would prevent me having to dry the car then go about spraying it with clay lube as I use the Speedy Prep.

Then I can just rinse all the soap off again, dry and go right to polishing.

Is this something the manufacturer might frown upon. Will it have any ill effects over doing it the long way of drying then using clay lube?

Where does it say that?
I called them when I got mine just to make sure it was soap friendly and they said it was.
I've been doing that with mine since last year.
I have the towel, wash mit and DA.
They work great as you wash. I do it all the time. It will save you hours.

It doesn't say specifically not to use soap but it does say to "avoid using soap and water as lubricant." Good to know others are doing this without problems, I'll give it a shot.

Nanoskin washmitt mentions you can use soap and water, I imagine should be fine for towel.
