    Question What type of clay system do you use, regular clay bar, fine clay bar, nanoskin claybar style handmit?

    Ok guys so which is the best type of clay system you all use when it comes to detailing a vehicle prior to all the compounding, posihing and waxing?

    Which have you found works the best and in which scenarios would you use the various types?

    Do you usually use fine grade, regular grade or have you ever used any of those hand mitt or towel style nanoskin clay bar systems?
    I just recently saw the nanoskin "fine" one and not sure if it actually works as well as using actual clay...

    So in all your expert opinions and based on your own personal experiences, which types/brands do you use and why???

    I use the regular one in Meg's & Mother's packages. Available OTC at decent prices & they work well.

    Speedy Prep Towel on vehicles I plan to polish. Use lots of lube

    Pinnacle Poly Clay when I am trying to avoid polishing

    I have used the Meguiar's Red Heavy Duty Clay on an old oxidized Ford at Thursday Night Open Garage. It made quick work of it

    I used regular megs mild clay forever. Since I used a nanoskin I don't think I'll ever go back. Unless I was working on a car over $100k then I'd use clay. Reason being is I feel clay is a little less aggressive on the paint.

    I have three grades of clay. Fine Poly clay, medium and coarse Clay Magic clays.

    But I always start out with the fine and work up to the coarse only if required.
