Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB Surface Prep Towel - General Grade 7" x 7" - Patented Clay Bar Replacement Tool to Remove Embedded Contaminants Before Wax & Coating |for Painted Surface, Glass, Plastic, Metal, etc

This is a fairly SMALL towel. It's 7 inches square and the synthetic clay part is probably 6 inches square. That being said, it is useful and I have actually done an entire car using just this little clay towel for decontamination. If your trying to save a buck or two, you can do an entire car with it. Just take your time and use plenty of Glide (Clay towel lube). Another option is use your car wash soap as your clay lube, wash your car, then dip the clay towel into the solution and start rubbing across your paint lightly. Always keep the towel wet and ensure you frequently dip into the solution to keep it gliding easily with the soap. If it doesn't glide smoothly you don't have enough solution on the towel or the paint. Never use it dry or you'll ruin the towel and scratch the heck out of your paint. These work with a lubricating solution (Glide or a soapy solution). I would actually recommend the CLAY MITT before this tiny towel (It's a 1/3 the size of a clay mitt) or a larger clay towel or clay sponge) or even better the AUTOSCRUB clay disc on a DA polisher. That's the fastest and most effective way to "clay" your vehicle. Autoscrub and Glide. You can't go wrong. But on a budget, this little towel can get the job done. It will just take you longer to complete.

Using a slick lube it started to come apart as I was using. I liked the size but that was all.

Historically, I have used a clay bar, and discovered that this product is indispensable when correcting&detailing painted surfaces as well as cleans glass exceptionally well. Efficient, easy to clean, control, and refresh with each use. Definitely recommend using a good clay bar lubricant or rinseless car wash diluted according to manufacturer’s directions; lubricating with water alone is contraindicated.One of the best features is that it conforms to the surface and, with light-moderate pressure, produces instantaneous and noticeable results with much less effort.

So I've used clay for the past 15 years and have been plenty happy with the results. Yes you have to kneed and keep and eye on the clay's dirtiness and throw it away at some point, but the clay has always done the job and at a cheaper price point.So I finally took the plunge and gave this Autoscrub towel a try. I used it with Prima Hydro diluted to a 1:6 with water as lube. One might ask why use Prima Hydro rather than a dedicated clay lube? Well Nanoskin suggest using a product they sell called nanoshock as an alternate lube which is a lube/instant sealer all in one. Prima Hydro is an instant spray sealer too so I tired it and it worked as a lube for the towel.The results: The finish came out super slick and it easily removed paint overspray and environmental contaminants. I did (3) cars in one afternoon, as it was just so much fun to feel the results. The products works quicker than clay and a would dare say that I "feel" it actually did a better job. Plus The product still looks like usable. No idea how long I will be able to use it before having to throw it out.All in all I've been converted. Will be replacing clay with Autoscrub in my personal detailing toolbox!Yeah its more expensive than clay but from my early testing and mfg. claims, this product's lifespan should ultimately make it less expensive than clay in a cost/use scenario.

I love detailing my cars, I just hate the clay bar stage. Because I can guarantee at some point in the process I will drop the clay, rendering it useless. This happened just this past weekend, when I dropped my high end clay bar after doing just half of the car. So I grabbed my new Nanoskin towel and finished the job in half the time, without dropping it. And even if I had, I could have simply washed it clean and carried on.It left the paintwork glass like, just as smooth to the touch as the side of the car I did with the clay bar, and I can use it over and over again. Would be nice if it was a bit bigger, it is slightly small, but it's as good as a clay bar and is much easier to use. I would definitely recommend, and I will never use a clay bar again.

As the name says, it is "handy!" It's a convenient size, nearly as flexible as a standard clay bar, and removes contaminates as well as other synthetic clay pads or mitts costing twice as much. The only thing I have that beats it is Meguiar's professional clay bar. I see why another Scott (from Texas) recommended it... a very useful product for all but the most stubborn contaminates. (I used it with Nanoskin Glide diluted between 7 to 1 and 5 to 1. I had a little trouble with dragging & marring at the recommended 7 to 1, but that was probably user error! I've also seen videos of using these towels, mitts or discs with car soap. I tried that & the performance was way worse. It basically took off little to none of the embedded contaminates, & I had to redo the whole vehicle using the Towel with the Glide.) This is a highly recommended product.

I love this synthetic clay bar. It’s a game changer for the diy car enthusiast. I would recommend this to anyone looking to step up their car car game. I’ve used mine over 10 times and it’s still like new. Forget the days of buying clay. I expect this to last years. Well worth the $20. As long as you have a spray or foam cannon to act as lube between your car and the towel you are all set. It’s pulls off all the major paint contaminates leaving your car feeling nice and smooth for the next steps in your cleaning process.

I have been using clay bars up to this point. I wanted something that would get the job done and last a bit longer. Needed something that achieved at least the same results as a clay bar for ceramic coating prep. This towel was great and love that it can be reused many times. And if I drop it I can just clean it off and keep going.

Excellent value for money and just the right size for your hand.Highly recommend this for your detailing arsenal.

I like this better than a clay bar personally. It’s easy to use.

Exactly what i wanted. Excellent product. Some cheaper product available but this is quality. Might by one more of ohter size. Great product.

It does its job, able to get all contaminants out off the paint. will only last 3 to 4 cars and will start losing its ability. I like how easy it is to use. Will order again.

Ease of use and being able to wash and rinse and reuse. Make sure to use a quality lube when applying.
