I believe for now it's a finer grade scrubber, but not towel. There are a few versions in the works, however. Pretty cool.

Ok, I have a question.
I know a number of people that use clay in there decontamination process whilst using a fall out remover which in most cases is done during the dwelling period be it Iron X, ABC or any other fall out remover.
What are the effects on these towels if used during the decontamination process using a fall out remover or ABC prep wash process?

Cant say for sure, but some of those products may eat up the towel or wont provide enough lubrication.

While I'm normally ready to try something new, I'm definitely not trying any kind of solvent with the towel, I don't think it's necessary and I'm almost 100% sure it will destroy the towel.
BTW, if you guys know anyone who does airplanes, I can tell you, the towel is great. I should have taken pictures but this is how I used the towel on a plane:
I did all this piece by piece. I washed an area - dry wash method - then wet the cleaned area, then I used the towel by wrapping it around a hydrophilic sponge that I'd cut the way I do for car washing. (Lay the sponge on a flat surface, then cut about a half inch deep in a diamond pattern creating diamonds of about 3/4 inch.)
Using the cut sponge to push the towel against the surface let the towel go over the rivets without grinding on them but it got all the contamination off the paint. The columns of sponge keep the pressure down and at the same time let the towel get all around the rivets without grinding on them. It also spreads the contact patch so more work gets done. I do this on cars too, but because of the rivets, this is more important on planes. Also, the towel is better than clay because the clay doesn't conform as well to all the curves and it hits a much smaller area.
Also, I cut the foam pad I used for polishing the same way for the same reason then used it on the Makita BO6040 so I was able to clean the paint without putting undo stress/cut on the rivets. Polishing paint off a rivet makes that rivet a failure requiring replacement so being careful not to hit them hard matters.

New to HD, yes, but it's the exact same towel as the NanoSkin and SM Arnold towels, just private labeled for 3D.
