Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB 6" Medium Surface Prep Pad — Reusable Rubber Polymer, Removes Overspray & Sap

Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB 6" Medium is a reusable rubber polymer surface-prep pad that safely lifts bonded contaminants like overspray, tree sap, rail dust and water spots from paint, glass and trim without the mess and reshaping of clay.

The AUTOSCRUB medium-grade 6" pad uses advanced rubber polymer technology to physically extract contaminants from automotive finishes, plastics and glass. Designed for hand use or with a dual-action orbital polisher, it glides smoothly and cleans simply with water — no folding, no disposal after a single use. This pad bridges the gap between traditional clay bars and polishing, letting you prepare surfaces quickly and reliably before waxing, sealing or coating.

How does AUTOSCRUB compare to a clay bar in prep work?

Unlike clay bars that require constant reshaping, are single-use, and can be messy, the AUTOSCRUB pad is durable, easy to handle and rinses clean for continued use. It still achieves the same exfoliating effect, removing bonded fallout and embedded particles so coatings and polishes bond more consistently.

• Reusable: rinse and keep using after contamination removal
• Faster: works up to several times quicker than clay bars
• Neater: no sticky residue or lump reshaping
• Versatile: works by hand or on a dual-action polisher

What contaminants will the medium grade remove?

The medium AUTOSCRUB is formulated for heavier contamination and lighter paint colors, making it ideal for industrial fallout, rail dust, fresh tree sap, light overspray and persistent water spots. It safely extracts debris from paint, glass, metal and plastics when used with a proper lubricant.

• Industrial fallout and brake dust
• Paint overspray and rail dust
• Fresh tree sap and bonded water spots
• Embedded particles on glass, trim and plastics

How should I use and maintain the 6" AUTOSCRUB pad for best results?

Use a dedicated lubricant or detailing spray and work in moderate pressure passes by hand or with a DA polisher at recommended speeds. When the pad accumulates contaminants, simply rinse under water to flush the trapped particles — there’s no need to discard or reshape the pad.

• Lubricate surface generously before use
• Work in small sections for consistent extraction
• Rinse pad under running water to clean during or after use
• Air dry and store away from direct sunlight

Will AUTOSCRUB damage paint or clearcoat?

The AUTOSCRUB medium pad is engineered to remove bonded contaminants mechanically without aggressive abrasion when used correctly with lubricant. As with any decontamination step, test an inconspicuous area first and follow safe pressure and motion practices to protect finishes.

• Use plenty of lubricant to prevent surface marring
• Test on a small panel before full application
• Avoid excessive pressure or high-speed machine settings
• Follow up with polish, wax, or sealant as desired

Who is this for: The Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB 6" Medium pad suits detailers, body shops and car owners who want a faster, cleaner alternative to clay bars for tough, bonded contaminants. It’s especially useful when preparing paint for correction or coatings, for cleaning glass and trim, or for anyone who prefers a reusable, easy-to-rinse tool that performs consistently on heavier contamination without the hassle of single-use clay.
