CarPro polyshave clay towel good buy?

**MidnightNarwhal** · 03-25-2023, 02:20 PM

I bought a poly shave towel and received it today. I`m usually the guy who likes to watch videos about products before getting them and this towel didn`t have a whole lot to talk about it.

Before using it I was wondering if anyone has experience with this towel and if it`s a good buy?

In my mind, a good buy has some type of cost/performance relationship. I don`t know how these perform but I`m thinking if you got it for $1, it`s probably a good buy.

Is it perforated and orange? I was looking to buy the exact same clay towel very soon.

Yes! Looks like this is their updated one compared to their older blue one. Didn`t know it was updated.

This is a video about a similar looking towel. I think they are relatively new to the market - few years. Lots of companies have one now, speed master and maxshine offer cheaper versions than Carpro but i`m bit of a carpro fanboy like you lol (Just read it on the autogeek forum). I`m looking for a one and done clay product. I play around with a bar, mitts and even a block.

Haha yes that would be me! I tried clay before and I also tried one of those Mother`s speed clay but I felt like I needed a towel to get in intricate areas and a towel just makes sense in my mind. We are used to using towels since we deatil. Also looking for a one item to do it all.

I guess I`ll try it out myself come spring and see for myself. In my experience CarPro products do as advertised and perform well so we`ll see.

Funny, the mother`s speed clay 2.0 was the first clay product i bought lol I still have. Still works, seems to be slower, i`ve had it maybe 5 years now. I actually used it on my windshield a few weeks back. Never did get the glass super smooth..maybe it`s finally done. It was cold and windy.

Most of my traditional clay is gone now that`s why i`m looking for something new. And i`m 90% settled on a towel lol It will last me for years.

Honestly, i don`t understand the knock on towels being expensive. 100g of clay is close to half price the carpro towel in canada. But the towel will last years. It`s ironic because the towel in the long run is much cheaper. Not even close frankly.

You drop enough of the good clay and it cuts the value of it down even more.

The last time I clayed my car I got through 75% of it without dropping the clay bar. Right after finished the very last section I dropped the second piece while saying hello to the Amazon delivery guy dropping off a package for me. $30 in 22ple clay bar lost.

I actually have a Nanoskin block and a Polyshave towel (still new and unused) but just felt like giving 22PLE`s clay bar a try wanting to see if it`s claim to be non-marring were true (they are!).
