Speedy Prep towel (fine grade) and the "baggie test"...read before buying!

[eaglefan]

I have been on the fence about buying one of these towels. Which one? Would it be better to buy both? Are they that much better than clay? Meaning are they worth the price for someone that works on a handful of cars a month.
As for the baggie test, would one of those regular sandwich baggies be better than a ziplock because they are thinner? Never thought about them

Yes! Use the bags without the ziplock.

How did the "baggie test" come to be and why does it work?

I have yet to use my expensive clay cloth/mat, but the hype is that it will finally replace the clay bar.

Even though I have a couple of speedy prep towels IMO clay will still have a place in my shop.

Good find Bob, but way too much too read.

I have seen the patent mentioned before but I wonder if the patent holder actually thought of this or was just the party that thought to patent it.

I buy my bags a Dollar General. 150 for a buck.

I usually don't recommend this action: "Scan".

This may have similarities to the:
Elisha Gray and Alexander G. Bell telephone controversy.
