Finally Jumped on the Bandwagon - NanoSkin AutoScrub Mitt (Fine Grade)

[SirJAG]

so i brought the 12'' towel....

i just cant seem to get the thing to glide across the paint like in all the you tube video's.....like at all..

it just wants to stick the whole time

yes i am using the nano glide lube (7:1) and i did break it in on the glass first...for a while and on two different cars to be sure...its just not getting any better...and the stuff is starting to break up on the towel now....

anyone seen this happen?

I just got the fine mit also. Used it yesterday on my Sti (which has very soft paint) and had zero marring. So much faster than any clay.

Doesn't clay have a patent? That can't be touched?

But then came a clay alternative?

Could be an entirely different type of polymer technology to accomplish what those companies did with their clay alternatives.

I have not jumped on the bandwagon yet, but im feeling very convinced after reading this. These things are supposed to be very durable right? 50+ uses?

"The Nanoskin Autoscrub Speedy Prep Sponge is arguably the best investment you can make in detailing supplies under 15 bucks. This durable sponge can be used, abused, washed and reused over and over again. How many times have you heard someone say that about a clay bar? None! The Nanoskin Autoscrub Speedy Prep Sponge lasts considerably longer than a traditional detailing clay bar thanks to its unique construction. What’s more, if you drop the Nanoskin Autoscrub Speedy Prep Sponge on the ground, simply rinse it off with water!"

I have the 6" AutoScrub pad and Speedy prep towel, both have been great. I have been considering getting the medium grade sponge. Especially because it's cost is so low.

FYI, the patent expired on July 28, I believe, so companies are now free to formulate their own clay to sell in the US that perform similar to the European clay.

I believe clay could be formulated at any point, but the patent restricted the manufacturing to Clay Magic. Now companies are free to create their own or choose their own supplier. Not 100% though.

[parttimer]

Yep, the restriction on clay is gone, someone has been talking about importing Ricardo clay or something along those lines? However I have a nanoskin towel and that thing is amazing! I have clayed my car and the GF's van. Since I got the towel that has been my new best friend. Hearing and seeing the crud come off, not kneading and folding clay, you can't beat it.

Also I find the towel much easier to use when it's in 1/4s.
