Product Description
NANOSKIN AUTOSCRUB System works fast and achieves professional results with the new advanced rubber polymer technology, which replaces the use of clay bars. With either dual action orbital polisher or hand application, it safely and easily removes paint over spray, water spots, fresh tree sap, rail dust and other bonded surface contaminants from the surface of automotive paint, glass, moldings and plastic. Unlike the clay bar, the AUTOSCRUB can be cleaned by simply rinsing off the accumulated contaminates with water. If you drop the AUTOSCRUB on the ground, no worries, just rinse the sponge pad clean and you're ready to keep using it. Easy glides allows for sturdy and 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:
Sufficient lubrication is crucial to the AUTOSCRUB application.
Plain water is NOT an adequate lubricant.
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.

If you were on the fence about buying this, go ahead and get it! It really is a true game changer. And FYI: You might want to buy more than 1 because after using this for the first 5 minutes, I wish I had more because of how awesome they are! Just make sure you take care of this and wash it regularly after using it. The dirty water will soak up into the sponge. Nothing a little drench of the hose won't fix. Im thinking about making a video for the nano skin products as well tomorrow. We shall see.
The product was nicely packaged, and arrived quickly through Amazon Fulfillment Services.
This is a very good paint claying tool, designed to create ease in dust, grime and other nasty stuff that sits on our car paint and gradually embeds it. The kind of stuff, which cannot be removed by simple car wash shampoo. Previously I had used clay bars. While the clay bars do an excellent job at cleaning painted surface, they have some shortcomings too. Like they cannot be removed after first use. They cannot be used, if dropped on the floor or road.
Enter Nanoskin Autoscrub. Not only is this product very easy to use, it also allows to be reused. If dropped on the floor, simply wash it with plain water and start using again. It is also very time efficient, when compared to traditional clay bars.
This product promises to clean upto 25 cars from one sponge. In a way, this is the last claying product, I would probably buy.
To use, keep spraying/pouring lubricant over the panel. For good results, Nanoskin Glide can be used. Although this is down to personal preference as well.
Great for when your car paint needs to be " cleaned".
Wash car, make a new batch of car wash and use this autoscrub. You will feel it work. Lite rubbing with plenty of soapy water. Works very quickly.
Paint correction if needed then seal the paint.
- You have to rub a new Nanoskin on your glass for two minutes to break it in prior to using on paint or you risk damage
- Wash down car prior to using (Decontaimation with an Iron removal product recommend)
- Generous applicaion quality lubicant is needed to reduce marring (Glide preferred, 16oz product mixes 1:7 with water to create 1 gallon of liquid enough for 2 cars or 1 large truck)
- Polishing after Nanoskin (or claying) is a must to return paint to its optimal shine. Ideally, don't use if you aren't planning on polishing.

I first used this product with a Clay Magic lubricant and I was surprised to see how fast and easy it was to detail one section of my car. Normally if I had to clay bar my hood, it would take about 30 minutes to get it smooth. With the AutoScrub, it took less than 15 minutes. Then I paired the sponge with Poor Boy's quick detailier and I was more astonished at shine and the silkiness feeling. It took me about 1-2 hours to finish detailing my car with the AutoScrub. The last time I clay bar my car, it took 3-4 hours.
I still have yet to test this out on an older car that has those tiny needle point rust spots that only goes away if you clay bar it. There were times that the sponge struggled to remove some sticky tar mess, but it just needed more elbow grease. Maybe the Fine version of this sponge is better suited for that application.
I don't know what's in this product, but I can't seemed to figure out if it's some sort of rubber polymer. One of the good things about this sponge is if you drop it on the ground, you can just rinse it out. I've read review of people marring their car from using this product but it's when they used the orbital adapter version. I assume they didn't rinse it off after working on one section at a time. I had a bucket of water nearby when I did my car.

llevo dos coches completos y como 10 parabrisas y consideró qué va a la mitad de su vida útil... Ojalá más pero creo que ya sería mucho pedir
me encantó rinde muchísimo más que la clay bar es muy útil, y eficaz hay que agarrarle la maña porque a veces al encontrar un exceso de contaminación ya sea en carrocería o en cristales en combinación con el lubricante para una buena descontaminación es sumamente fácil de que salga volando de tus manos lo que considera completamente normal 👌🏻👌🏻
For the years it lasted, I would say it was worth the money I paid.
