![Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB Fine Grade Wash Mitt,Weft Knitted Microfiber [AS-016] Blue, 6" x 8.7"](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61Jz-1LmXyL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I have been using clay since the late 90s, generally Mothers, though in the past few years i have also used Meguires to similar result. When it became available quite some time ago I used the pocket pad from Griots for clay and that worked quite well, but required immense amounts of lubricant, to the point where I made my own mix with other products to reduce cost.
Clay has always been the way to go to start ones cleaning process. Waxing, polishing, virtually any paint care should start with a good clay. Nano rubbers have been available for a couple of years now and after the recommendation from a friend in the business I decided to take the plunge. It has really been the best thing I have ever done in terms of prep.
When lubricated properly ( I use the blue lube at 7:1, I have yet to try nano shock, though I hear good things) and used at a low speed on a decent DA (I use the third gen Griots, but the PC, or Megs is fine too) the results are really quite surprising. Not only is this product VERY fast, it is exceptionally effective when used as intended.
It can be used by hand, which if you are unfamiliar with DAs or have never used clay would be recommended, with similar results. The real key here, what makes this so unique, is not just the efficacy, but the speed with which it performs the job. Traditionally, a hand clay on the average sedan, say a Volvo S60, Honda Accord, etc, would take 1-2 hrs depending on how well maintained the car was to begin with. This pad and a good DA will do the same car in 20 minutes, MAYBE 35 minutes tops.
So far i have only done my car and my moms Genesis sedan, so I cannot speak to longevity, but I can say hands down, this is the new clay. No argument. It simply is.

Lasts 25-30 Vehicles, Better Than Clay, Such A Time Saver!
As a detailer, this is perhaps the most time-saving item I have of all the equipment and products I use. I didn't know how long it lasted until I purchased Nanoskin (AS-019) AutoScrub Fine Grade Sponge for smaller sections that the pad couldn't reach (i.e. door handles, carrier racks, trim).There were a few differences between the old and new pad. I've included a few pics to show the small differences. There is a little bit of a tackier feel to the new pad even though I could probably still get 2-3 cars from the old pad. I always wondered how long the pad would last and I'd say I have done approx. 25-30 cars and trucks before pad "needed" to be replaced. I use Garry Dean's Infinite Use Detail juice since it's cheaper when diluted compared to most other lubricating products.I got tired of just putting wax on cars since they still felt rough even after they were detailed. Most people don't realize what a difference clay makes. The surface is so much smoother, which makes it easier to apply polish/wax/sealant. If you have a DA buffer I highly recommend this pad. I know some people say it leaves swirls, but I haven't noticed any. I don't think the medium grade pad is necessary for most vehicles. Use some sort of lubricant and DON'T apply it to hot paint or in direct sunlight! It will stick to the car and leave residue on the paint.
