Nanoskin AutoScrub products?

Does anyone have any experience with their fine grade wash mitt or fine grade foam pad? They say it's supposed to be a replacement for clay bar's, but I've not heard much about them.

Product links below:

I haven't had personal experience with it, but I've heard good things. I personally went with Optimum Opti-Eraser. Half the price of nano scrub and in my experience works better and easier than traditional clay bar.

I've used the 6" and 3" foam pad on my Griots DA polishers and its pretty darn awesome. It works as well as a claybar, in less time, and doesn't leave residue that I get with a claybar. Note that I still need to use a claybar in areas where the pads don't fit.

If you decide to get the foam pads, a few words of advice
  1. the first time you use it, you need to break it in by working it on your windshield.
  2. use the lowest setting on your polisher with minimal pressure.
  3. make sure the area you're working on has tons of lubrication or else you may get some "etching" from the pad.

I highly recommend it. I've been using this product as a replacement for the dreaded time consuming clay bar for almost a year. Worth the small investment as it will last you 50X longer then a clay bar. I purchased mine from the great guys at Detailer Domain. Here is a deal they have on a combo https://detailersdomain.com/NanoSkin...de-_p_710.html

Also coupon code BMW for 10% off

I've used the autoscrub quite a bit. I strongly recommend it if you want to clean larger panels quickly. It doesn't work as well in small areas where a claybar is smaller and able to get in nooks and crannies easier.

However, for doing things like the hood, quarter panels, doors, etc, it's VERY fast and it works perfectly.

If you get it, be sure to read the directions for the spray lube and dilute it properly.
