    Dito! Use the grey allot. I have the mitts and 5" pads for time sensitive jobs.

    I wanted to get the Optimum towel this past spring but had a hard time finding them for whatever reason. They're expensive, no?

    Was recently reading through some TRC reviews on Amazon and some have reported marring and others have loved it.

    Re: Favorite Clay Bar (or similar) Product?

    I tried using my Nanoskin claymitt today for the 1st time in a while on some single stage paint that only needed a quick do over since I had fully clayed and polished it about 3 weeks ago [but didn’t finish it off with lsp] and not only did it start ruining my claymitt, but the claymitt started leaving brown skidmarks on the white paint. Has anyone else had negative results using synthetic clay on single stage paint?




    I switched to the Megs Aggressive Claybar after doing 1 side of the roof with the claymitt and everything went smooth with the clay.

    I've not had a problem and I use the towels and mitts. I do now they like a ton of lubrication. How old is the mitt Eldo?
