Nanoskin AutoScrub Wash Mit

http://www.amazon.com/Nanoskin-AS-01.../dp/B00DOS0LH2

Anyone bought or used this before? Seems like a good way to "clay" your car while washing it at the same time. I bought one and their Bubble Bath Car Wash and Shine. The plan is to wash the car normally and then use a fresh clean bucket with the Bubble Bath Car Wash and wash the car again with the Nanoskin AutoScrub Wash Mitt. Taking care to use a good amount of wash to keep proper lubrication while using the wash mitt.

I went to nanoskin 5 years ago and never looked back, clearly better than clay. And why its part of my docs. The nanoskin fine sponge gets it done for about $15. And again the time saver ;Clay while you wash, wash while you clay… Make it all one step, it works perfect

You know, normally I apply wax or sealant everytime I clay my car, would using this mitt mean I should also add doing sealant to every wash?

You might want to do some reading over the detailing forums, I'm not sure I understand your question. I only clay once a year. Clay is an aggressive step, it should not be done too often. I know people who don't clay at all, and go straight to polish. You have to figure out what works for you.

There is an easy way to tell if you need to Clay , download document #3 in the signature link.

This is VERY interesting to me. Im loathing claybarring the Flex (it is HUGE) and I know it will take me hours to do. This should cut down that time a lot.

Sorry I wasn't clearly reading this thread...so the cloth is actually just to replace a clay bar not for every wash use, right?

These truly are a game changer. Love the mitts and sponges but my biggest time save has been the Pad if you have a DA polisher.

I followed Glen's docs and it was a breeze. The nano skin mitt was so easy to use and got the rough gritty stuff off/out of my paint then the polish and sealant locked it down.
