Default Clay Bar vs nanoSkin AutoScrubber

The Nanoskin AutoScrubber has been out for a few years. I'm wondering if anyone has tried it and compared it to using a clay bar? The Nanoskin AutoScrubber is for use on a dual-action polisher. What are your preferences, and why? I have not used either method, yet I'm getting ready to buy supplies.

Nanoskin sponges here. Prefer them on small cars like ours. I only use the DA on large SUVs as I feel like I can't get into corners, under handles, etc well enough.

I wouldnt be without clay however. I have a white vehicle and aircraft fuel and tar are a major PITA to remove with Nanoskin. Clay takes it off quickly.

I have the Nanoskin Autoscub and sponge, both I find more enjoyable to use than clay. I don't use the autoscrub with DA polisher as I see no need for it. I use their hand strap applicator. You shouldn't be aggressive with it anyways. I still recommend having a least a bar of clay though. There will be places where the nanoskin won't fit.

I have used Autoscrub Pad with my Griots DA. It worked quite well with the Glide solution.

Are you guys using the Autroscrub Pad/Sponge with the NanoGlide solution or are you using it with your car wash solution?

I couldn't find anything about not using them with a carwash solution.

As long as your soap has enough lubricity just use the soap/water with your pad of choice. I like these as they can fit into small crevices/creases as well as large areas.
