Product Description

Nanoskin Autoscrub quickly achieves professional results using advanced rubber polymer technology that replaces the use of traditional clay bars. When used by hand or a dual action orbital polisher, the Autoscrub safely and easily removes paint over spray, water spots, fresh tree sap, rail dust and other bonded surface contaminants from: automotive paint, glass, moldings and plastic. Unlike the clay bar, the AUTOSCRUB can be cleaned. This is done by simply rinsing off the accumulated contaminates with water. In the event you should drop the Autoscrub on the ground it can be cleaned. Simply rinse the sponge pad clean and you’rere ready to use it again. The Autoscrub glides easily and is sturdy in your hands for controlled handling unlike clay bars where constant reshaping is required.


From the manufacturer

Application Use:

  • For surface prep., use with NANOSKIN GLIDE Instant Spray Lubricant
  • To achieve best result on the paint, use with NANOSKIN NANO SHOCK Hydrophobic Spray Lubricant Sealant.
  • For glass prep. and hydrophilic anti-static sealant, use with RAIN PREP Glass Cleaner/Activator then follow with RAIN Glass Sealant.

NOTE:

Using with 6" soft-edge DA pad is highly recommended.

Sufficient lubrication is crucial to the AUTOSCRUB application.

Plain water is NOT an adequate lubricant.

DO NOT use with rotary polisher.

AUTOSCRUB is not solvent resistant.

Remove tar & grease before application

Helpful Tips:

The AUTOSCRUB has a protective coating to ensure stability within transportation.

To break in the pad, moisten the AUTOSCRUB with desired lubricant.

Moisten a portion of window glass or other glass surface. Rub AUTOSCRUB in circular motion against the glass for 30~60 seconds. You may see a white soapy foam; this is the protective sealant coming off.

Don't use until the polymerized rubber is soft and slightly tacky.

Cold temperatures may stiffen pad. Warm surface before using.

There is a significant difference between NANOSKIN AUTOSCRUB and clay bars. An outstanding machine/advanced polymer combination makes AUTOSCRUB the best contamination removal tool ever.

    Lasts 25-30 Vehicles, Better Than Clay, Such A Time Saver!
    As a detailer, this is perhaps the most time-saving item I have of all the equipment and products I use. I didn't know how long it lasted until I purchased Nanoskin (AS-019) AutoScrub Fine Grade Sponge for smaller sections that the pad couldn't reach (i.e. door handles, carrier racks, trim).There were a few differences between the old and new pad. I've included a few pics to show the small differences. There is a little bit of a tackier feel to the new pad even though I could probably still get 2-3 cars from the old pad. I always wondered how long the pad would last and I'd say I have done approx. 25-30 cars and trucks before pad "needed" to be replaced. I use Garry Dean's Infinite Use Detail juice since it's cheaper when diluted compared to most other lubricating products.I got tired of just putting wax on cars since they still felt rough even after they were detailed. Most people don't realize what a difference clay makes. The surface is so much smoother, which makes it easier to apply polish/wax/sealant. If you have a DA buffer I highly recommend this pad. I know some people say it leaves swirls, but I haven't noticed any. I don't think the medium grade pad is necessary for most vehicles. Use some sort of lubricant and DON'T apply it to hot paint or in direct sunlight! It will stick to the car and leave residue on the paint.
