It offers great lubrication and decent cleaning ability. I never had an issue when paring it with any traditional clay bar from several different brands.
    That is exactly what the parts store shows as in stock locally

    I used to use it in Alaska for claying as I bought several of the claying kits back in the day

    I would buy the Megs kits or the Mothers kits depending on which was in stock locally and cheaper

    I always like the Megs detailer better

    I even bought one of the Clay Magic kits one time when it was on sale and actually still have a bar of the blue clay in the wrapper

    Probably should be in a museum

    Gotta be 15 years old

    I guess I was saving it for a special occasion

    lol

    Re: Nanoskin Wash Mitt; Fail

    Same experience as OP, billed as latest greatest thing since sliced clay, so I bought the hype a few years back. Got the entire shebang, pads, cloths and the tiny hand held scrubbers. Worked great at first, but quickly degraded, started having the super sticky feeling and didn't notice as I used the pad on the Flex Beast on the hood of a Porsche Cayenne, well lubed with Blackfire Clay Lube. Virtually melted the entire pad onto the hood, looked like road tar had been poured onto the hood, the only way I removed it was with a microfiber cutting pad and Menzerna 400, completely trashed that pad too.

    When I checked, all of their products had that super sticky feeling now and it all went into the trash can. Nanoskin blamed mine on the prep wash (Griots Foaming Surface Prep) I used before claying. Like the others I went back to traditional clay and haven't dared try again.

    Honestly I am feeling like leaving black smudges of rubber across my paint is the next step in this show

    Now I’m torn about going to the parts store later and picking up some Megs QD spray or just tossing the mitt and calling it a day

    Nanoskin flat told me it was my fault and if there was a problem on THEIR end it would be on social media

    Well, I guess this is social media?

    I don’t do any other stuffs like Facebook or whatnot so I hope this helps get the word out

    This is the only social media I am on.

    And, your "customer service" experience with Nanoskin coupled with my experience with the sponge, and the other posts here now has Nanoskin on my "Do Not buy" list.

    Too many really great companies out there today vying for your detail product dollars to waste one more cent on a company that is basically telling you to "f*ck-off".

    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Nanoskin's attitude towards customer service is unacceptable.

    I'm glad I never bought from them and it's clear I never will
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.
