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. 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.

HOW TO USE ON PAINT:

Easiest Alternative to Claying
5 Stars
Easiest Alternative to Claying
Let's face it, claying your car is time consuming and somehow you always end up dropping your clay... Nanoskin solves these issues. I can clay a full car in 15 minutes while leaving minimal marring when used in combination with their Glide lubricant. If you drop the Nanoskin no big issue just dunk it in your wash bucket and run it over the back of your hand a few times. As long as your familiar with the concepts of claying this is the best product to use for most jobs. Things to note;- 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never buying clay again
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2013
Style: Medium GradeVerified Purchase
First off, this stuff cuts clay time down by 50%! You don't have to keep kneading the clay and you don't have to worry about dropping this like you would clay. I just got this yesterday and used it on my girlfriends car and WOW. We both were amazed at how fast and easy it is to use. I also bought the nano skin car wash mitt which I will use this weekend. Great quality. I feel like I will get a good 10 uses out of this sponge at least, which is great for 11 dollars. A Good clay costs around 20 bucks and I can only use that maybe 4 times before it starts getting too dirty.

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.

Not great at using a standard clay bar. Looked at some videos that said really no real big difference between this and standard clay. For me the ease of use was the key. No kneading, easy to grip, rinse, and store. Used this companies clay lube and got really great results. Clayed the entire exterior of new SUV including windows. Wanted to start with the best finish I could get before applying sealer. Very slick results, water does not have a chance to linger anywhere on the exterior. Will use in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Paint Cleaning Product in the market today
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2016
Style: Fine GradeVerified Purchase
I purchased 2 of these sponges. One for myself and one for a friend.
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.

This is perfect to remove contaminants in your paint. Replace your clay with this.
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but worth it to me
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2016
Style: Fine GradeVerified Purchase
This little baby is expensive. Considering I can pick up a clay bar and detailer spray for half as much as this little sponge. For me, it's worth the price.

Finally got around to using it this weekend. Did a routine wash on wifey's car this morning. The paint literally felt like sandpaper! Seems she parked her car at work and they were doing construction on the nearby tennis courts. Paint over spray over the entire car. It was so fine that you had to look to see it.

So, I figured it was time to try the clay sponge. So hard to get motivated to do this during the Texas summer.

Started in on the hood, which got the worst of it. Spent a few minutes on the test section, wiped the detailer spray off and wow! Smooth as you could ask for. After a third of the hood, it seemed to be "grabbing" rather than gliding over the clean parts. Looked at the sponge and it had little rollers of clay. Kind of like pulling on the inside of a sweatshirt.

I remembered you can rinse these off in water and had my bucket of rinse water from the wash nearby. I submerged it, rubbed the clay part for a bit, pulled it out and squeezed the water out. Good as new. Sweet!

Did some more and ended up doing what I always do with clay: dropped it on the ground. With clay, I would be cursing. A quick rinse and squeeze and I was back at it.

About the only down side: it seemed to take more passes than clay to get the same effect. That's somewhat offset by not having to squeeze, kneed, and reflatten like clay.

It also felt better in the hand.

Overall, very pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Clay
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2015
Style: Fine GradeVerified Purchase
Just like others, I didn't believe it until I tried it out. Works just like a clay bar only easier. The one thing I hated about clay bars was the constant kneading of the product and if it falls, you are screwed. With the NanoSkin Scrub, use a detailer spray, any will work (I used Meguiar's Quik Detailer, red bottle. and work the area until its smooth as glass. Mine fell twice, I simply picked it up, cleaned it with water and some detailer spray and microfiber towel, and back to working on the car. I honestly looked at the surface I was working on several times at different angles to make sure this product wasn't scratching the surface. Overall, worked as advertised, IMO better than a clay bar. Used the same scrub on two cars, one hasn't been clayed for years, with great results.

Update: I've had this product since July 2015. Used it about 6 times since and still works great. I just finishing 'claying' a car a few days ago that hasn't been clayed since the winter, still left that smooth glass feel on the paint. For anyone that doesn't have this yet, GET IT. Easier and safer to use than regular clay.

I bought this way back in 2017 and have used it quite liberally on two of my cars. It has really lasted for over 5 years. It did its job well too. Removed all contamination from the paint and made the surface glass smooth.
