I am thinking of using the 'new' Nanoskin fine scrubber instead of a clay bar.
Anyone have any opinions on this scrubber?
Also, what type of pad should I buy? I am thinking either the 4" or 6" pad and the hand adapter since I don't have a air powered DA.
Also, does soap and water work as a lubricant for this item?
Thanks.

I just used a Nanoskin fine mitt by hand last week on my silver Tacoma pickup. It worked fantastic. I first washed the truck thoroughly with the Dawn and rinsed well. Mixed up a fresh bucket of water with Dawn and used that on one panel at a time.

The video shows how to use with a hand applicator. I would use the clay lube or use your own made from ONR (Optimum No Rinse).

Remember to rinse the Nano pad/sponge out after every panel.

I used the fine grade on a 6 year old car, garaged kept and not a DD, and the fine grade did a great job. I had not used a clay type product prior. I have heard that the next grade can sometimes mar resulting in another step in removing minor swirls. Use a good lubricant just like with clay.

Good product.

That looks like some serious cleaning products that make washing and caring much easier.

Thanks for posting that link

I switched to the nanoskin pad a few years ago. I still use the clay bar for the small tight areas. It works well and easy to clean. Speeds up the job a bit.

I'm on my second Nanoskin Autoscrub Towel–Fine Grade. I use it a lot and recommend it.
In some cases, I found I need to follow up with a very fine clay bar but that is fairly rare.
If you're looking to "try it out" try a Nanoskin Autoscrub Speedy Prep Sponge–Fine Grade.

From what I have read, detergent/soaps can/may ruin the Autoscrub polymerized rubber.
In my case, I prefer not to take a a chance destroying a $60 towel so I use ONR or Glide.
As Scott said, use ONR (Optimum No Rinse) diluted or Nanoskin Glide as a clay lubricant.

Rinse it out between each panel and when finished, place it rubber side up to dry & store.
