Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB Prep Mitt Medium Grade 6" — reusable decontamination mitt for heavy contaminants, safe on paint with lubricant

The Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB Prep Mitt (Medium Grade, 6") is a reusable decontamination mitt that quickly removes bonded road grime, industrial fallout, and other surface contaminants before polishing or coating.

Designed as a modern alternative to clay bars, the AUTOSCRUB Prep Mitt combines a textured synthetic surface with a lubricated glide to lift embedded particles from paint, glass, plastic and metal without the need for constant reforming. The medium grade balances aggressive removal power for heavy contamination with safe use on light-colored and delicate finishes when used with appropriate lubricant. This 6" mitt is compact for control, durable for repeated use, and compatible with detailing workflows prior to waxing, sealing, or coating.

How does the AUTOSCRUB Mitt differ from a traditional clay bar?

Unlike clay that must be reshaped and can tear or pick up contaminants into an uneven piece, the AUTOSCRUB is a stable, reusable mitt that retains its texture. You simply lubricate the surface and work across panels; there’s no folding or reforming, and accidental drops are resolved by rinsing.

• Reusable synthetic material lasts many uses versus single-use clay pieces
• Works up to three times faster in typical decontamination tasks
• Rinse-and-continue durability if dropped on the ground
• No folding or reforming required during use

What contaminants will the medium grade remove effectively?

The medium grade surface is formulated for heavier contamination while remaining safe on light-colored paint when properly lubricated. It lifts embedded brake dust, rail dust, overspray, industrial fallout and stubborn environmental deposits from multiple substrates.

• Brake dust and road tar residues
• Industrial fallout and metallic rail dust
• Overspray, tree sap residues and stuck-on grime
• Safe on paint, glass, plastic and metal with correct lube

How should I use and care for the 6" AUTOSCRUB Prep Mitt?

Use a dedicated detailing lubricant or a generous amount of spray-on lubricant to provide slickness while you work. Move the mitt in straight passes across each panel, rinse periodically to remove trapped particles, and store dry to prolong life.

• Spray lubricant generously before each pass
• Work panels methodically in straight strokes for best pickup
• Rinse with water if the mitt becomes loaded or dropped
• Air dry flat and store away from direct sun for longevity

Will the AUTOSCRUB mitt harm clear coat or delicate finishes?

When used correctly with ample lubricant, the medium grade is formulated to remove bonded debris without sanding or scoring the clear coat. For extremely soft or highly polished surfaces, consider testing a small inconspicuous area first or choose a finer grade option.

• Safe on most OEM and aftermarket clear coats with proper lube
• Test a small area on very soft or recently polished paint
• Choose lighter grades for ultra-fine finishes if needed
• Follow with paint correction products as required

Who is this for? Detailers, professional shops and car enthusiasts who want a faster, longer-lasting and more convenient way to decontaminate surfaces before polishing, waxing or coating will appreciate the 6" Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB Medium Prep Mitt. It suits busy technicians who need repeatable performance, DIYers prepping a weekend project, and anyone replacing clay bars with a tool that rinses clean and keeps working. The medium grade is targeted at vehicles with moderate to heavy contamination and panels where a balance of aggressiveness and surface safety is required.
