Do you think the Fine grade will remove as many contaminants as the Medium grade - just might take a few more passes to do so?

The reason I ask is, 75% of the time I will be using this on cars that have never/rarely been clayed.

If I can get the paint perfectly smooth with the fine grade, whilst reducing the extent of marring, that will be the towel I choose.




Thanks.

just get the medium...

reducing marring doesn't matter because you will be polishing after which removes any marring

Well if you won't be polishing after, then get the fine :)

It's pretty awesome!

Even if you are polishing afterwards, why inflict more damage (marring) to the paint than necessary?

Medium is good when you know you have a heavily contaminated car, and speed is of the essence. Otherwise, fine works too; just takes a few more passes on heavily contaminated cars, and has less chance of marring.

I've used both on crappy cars and I like the fine better because it's gentler and I come across some sensitive once, mainly black BMW's. So the fine gives me a broader range of vehicles I can use it on.

They both work so well and I really don't see much of a difference in passes/work nor do I really recall a difference because these things are the greatest thing ever!!! :)

If budget is a worry, get the medium grade towel and then get the nano skin fine sponge, great stuff and cheap! If not, stick with a traditional clay bar.

I had to use the Medium grade speedy prep towel saturday to remove some black paint over spray. Meguairs fine grade clay bar just wasn't removing all of the over spray. I switch to the medium grade towel and it removed the overspray right awake. This was on soft black Hondapaint. The medium did leave marring. So I had to polish the area where the contamination was removed from.
