NANOSKIN Autoscrub 6 inch Pad - Better and Faster than Claying



Wow is all I can say about this new tool and new technology. I believe this will change the way most pro detailers and DIYers will prep their cars. This is truly a time saver and will pay for itself after a couple detail jobs. We have spent in some cases 1-2 hours claying and prepping a midsize sedan (in rough shape) we recently tested the AutoScrub on an Audi S8 and we were finished in about 15 minutes! You really won't believe this until you try it yourself. The AutoScrub will make you leave your clay bar behind.

NANOSKIN AutoScrub works fast and achieves professional results with the new advanced rubber polymer technology, which replaces the use of clay bars.

A dual action orbital polisher is required. AutoScrub will safely and easily removes paint over spray, water spots, tree sap, rail dust and other bonded surface contaminants from the surface of automotive paint, glass, moldings and plastic.

AutoScrub works great with your favorite detail spray or clay lubricant. 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.

AutoScrub allows for sturdy and controlled handling, unlike clay bars where constant reshaping is required.

Features
- Lasts up to 4 times longer than clay bars
- Glides on & off easily for a slick finish
- If inadvertently dropped on shop floor, simply rinse clean
- Up to 50-60 uses before you need to replace it

Directions
1. Thoroughly wash vehicle free of dust, sand, and dirt.
2. Mist sufficient detail spray or clay lubricant onto the surface evenly.
3. Polish the surface with dual action orbital polisher using light pressure (Low Speed).
4. Wipe off residue and move on to compound and polishing or even go straight to your last step.

Important tips:
- Sufficient lubrication is crucial to the AUTOSCRUB application.
- DO NOT use water
- DO NOT use with rotary polisher.

Very interesting! Can this work with a porter cable? So you pretty much use it the same way you would polish a car?

I literally just detailed my car yesterday and the claying process was a pain. The hard water here left spots all over my car and a single pass from clay wasn't enough to remove it in some areas. I also find that clay can leave strange streaks in the finish which was a bit disconcerting. Part of the PIA of owning a near black car. Took me 3 coats of Z5 to remove most of the scratches and swirls in the paint. Thanks dealership! This pad looks like a major time saver IMO. I also really need an orbital polisher. Doing 3 coats by hand is painful and takes forever. I really wanted to add a last layer of Z2 but I'm too sore and tired. Haha.

I would say pick up a Griot's Orbital Polisher and Kit to go with it you will save time, then pick up the AutoScrub

You will find your results will be worth the investment.

Interesting, but kind of pricey. I'm personally sticking to the tried and tru clay bar for now and wait on this. How does this 'last 4 times longer than clay bars' exactly? You're removing contaminants no matter what, aren't you?... and it doesn't look like this adds any sort of protection to the paint.

Because contaminents stay in the clay bar so the bar gets too dirty to use after several uses. This thing can be rinsed off so the contaminents do not get lodged into it forever.

I thought they were talking about the paint finish, not the clay bar itself. Makes more sense now...now I'm wondering how much you have to rinse it. With the clay bar, you just knead it.
