I`m with you on this one and have first had experience between the two. My experience using the Nanoskin mild Autoscrub pad was not a good one. It created far more marring than clay, and it was pretty difficult to polish out of hard VW paint. I swore off clay substitues at that point.
I also find clay far easier to use. Granted there is the pressure not to drop it, but I found just about any good QD spray and even my car wash solution in the buket works well as a lube with clay. Clay substitutes I could never find a good lube. No matter the brand, nor how much I used would prevent terrible marring and grabbing of the surface.

Yikes, you must get a lot of contamination in your area to be decontaminating that often!
I typically don`t clay unless I`m polishing and applying a new LSP, but from my experience I need to clay the rear hatch area and lower doors of our vehicles at least once a year in the spring. The constant grime and salt over winter leaves them pretty nasty. On my wife`s car I can feel the embedded contaminates with my bare hands, no need for a baggy test. None of our other vehicles get quite that bad, so it could just be the soft Toyota paint.
The clay doesn`t come out pitch black like some neglected car horror story, but it does show noticible amounts of grime being lifted off the paint.

I suspect that now that I park in a garage isn`t helping. It used to be that if my car was dirty it looked great after a rain washed crap away. But now if it`s raining I go straight from the wet/dirty highway into my garage instead of the junk being rinsed away naturally by rain.
Overall the FK1000p is doing fine, perhaps I just need to top it with something a bit more hydrophobic purely for my own purposes.
Is the tech the same in the the speed clay 2.0 as it is in the towels? I know the towels are "vulcanized rubber" but I`m not sure how different they all are or if the speed clay 2.0 is the same thing in block form.
I prefer the mitts over clay because it`s just so much quicker than traditional clay and I don`t notice any extra marring or anything like that. I`m pretty good about rinsing it off very often though. I still like to follow it up with a polish, but I`m the same way with traditional clay.

Haven’t use yet bought got griots brilliant finish synthetic clay and a fine nano skin sponge. For those looking at nano skin sponge.... it’s tiny.

That`s probably a good thing. If I try to clay an area larger than a (very) few square inches, the risk of marring goes up exponentially.
The *SECOND* the clay (or, as best I can tell) a towel/sponge picks up some abrasive contamination it becomes sandpaper. While it shouldn`t be in direct contact with the paint, that`s "when everything goes right" which doesn`t always happen.
