Default Speedy towel? Phil?

Ive noticed there seems to be a lot of new products that are supposed to
Replace clay. I personally hate to clay anyways so I wondering who has
Used the speedy towel and how does it compare vs the nano autoscrub
That is used on a da?
So many options I don't know what's right for me.
Looks like the towels might be the easiest way now?

I haven't tried any of them yet but the people who I know that have seem to like them a lot. Technique seems to be extremely important. I've read where many people have marred up their paint pretty badly by either using too much pressure or not enough lubricant.

I haven't used the towel, but I do use the NanoSkin Autoscrub for all my details now. So fast! I believe Phil is using the NanoSkin Autoscrub exclusively now as well.

i use the nano skin also, its the best! way quicker than using clay, if your worried about messing up your paint with a polisher or something, get the porter cable....no matter what you do, there is NO WAY you can mess up your paint with the porter cable

if you have the porter cable already I would highly suggest the nano skin autoscrub pad as a few members stated it saves time and its easy to use.

I like the towel but right now not enough to bring it in to our store.

I think in the last 6 months of using it, we picked up a clay bar maybe once and it was the new guy in the shop, that was not trained on the autoscrub yet.

What are your concerns that you wouldn't use the towel in your shop?
I'm having a hard time understanding how the autoscrub could be any
Faster than the towel. Does the towel not do as good?
Give me a little more info please

I'm not really a fan of it.

the orbital and autoscrub pad will remove much quicker than a clay bar or a towel. but by all means if you want to try the towel you should go pick one up.
