Just out of curiosity, has anybody in these neck of the woods tried the claying towels or sponges? Have to stock up for the season and they caught my eye.

I'm not up your neck of the woods but I have used the towel and the sponge FINE
I really like 'em both! Ever since I've used 'em I doubt I'll ever go back to clay again!

Thank you, sir! Do you think that it's a faster process than traditional claying?

I did a review of the towel and 6" pad on the site here :

I was very shocked it worked like the youtube clip show it to work.
As far as faster than clay, much faster in my book.
- no turning and kneading the clay between panels, quick wash against a 1 gal paint can screen or gritguard and off to the next panel.
I just got the wash mitt with the towel material on it, but have not used it yet. Have dad's work truck targeted for that and the medium 6" pad.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Great write up, by the way.

what is the 1 gallon screen?
1 Gallon paint can screen for small rollers to roll out the excess right in the can ( instead of using a roller tray ).

If you can find them, plastic wash board or you can go with a pailpal
This is the plastic washboard I got from Amazon for use in the laundry room sink for cleaning pads and towels that have very dirty spots on them

The washboard is more expensive but it is sturdier than the paint can screen and has the hooks that can be set into place on the edge of the sink so it does not move around.
Basically something to gently clean it against.
- This is my own method, nothing I got from directions.
I'm VERY old school I use still washboards for some stains / spots :slow:
