You should. I "liked" to clay with a traditional bar.
I actually "enjoyed" using the Nanoskin sponge. Made it quicker and easier for sure. We'll find out just how well it works on slightly less perfect paint when I detail my mother's '04 RX330 in the coming weeks. It's never had anything more than a really good wash.

 

Is this product available at places like Autozone and Advanced Auto or do I have to order it online?

 

Good question...I never checked.
Wife and I have Amazon Prime, so that's the first place I typically check. That's where I got mine from, and their Glide concentrate.

 

I was just looking online...It appears are medium and fine grit sponges available. What do you use and recommend?

 

I bought the fine for my truck as it's less than a year old and the paint felt pretty good to the touch. I have no experience with the medium and how it would work. I don't think that the medium will be harsh enough to cause paint damage, but you might need more spray as your sponging. Just thinking out loud here. More lubricant really isn't a bad thing.

 

A truer statement has never been uttered!

 

FWIW, Amazon has the fine/medium combo pack for about $4.50 more than just one sponge. I wish I had seen that last week....face palm!!

 

I have never done this to a vehicle I own.. I paid a guy to do it a couple times.. looks easy enough. im going to give it a whirl soon!

 

I have some liquid ice clay bar. Not perfect but seems to work pretty good and not nearly as time consuming as a normal clay bar.

 

I'd recommend fine grit. That's what I've used and it's worked great. Even on a 10 year old car. A buddy of mine used the medium and it actually left marks where you could see it's path of travel. It 'may' have left the paint cleaner (doubt it), but caused more headache and more work in the end as far as polishing. For a newer paint finish, I'd stick with a fine grit vs. medium. I'm pretty sure medium would be for heavily oxidized surfaces with lots of contaminants. Btw, friends truck was only an 08' and he thought it was heavily saturated with crap. He was wrong. Play it safe and get a fine grAde.
