Default Clay bar alternative

I recently discovered this little gem:



It's basically a thin layer of "material" adhered to a foam block. I have no idea what this is made of, but I'll be damned if it didn't work just as well as my purple clay bar. Best thing is, no more stopping to fold over clay, and no more purple hands!

Anyone else try this?

It should last quite a while too, with supposed 15-25 uses per block! :23_146_5:
