Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB Surface Prep Towel 7" x 7" General Grade — Reusable Rubber-Polymer Decontamination Pad for Paint, Glass, Plasti

Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB Surface Prep Towel is a reusable rubber-polymer decontamination pad that removes bonded contaminants from paint, glass, plastics and metal faster and more easily than traditional clay bars.

Designed for enthusiasts and pro detailers, the 7" x 7" General Grade AUTOSCRUB replaces the messy folding and reshaping required by clay bars while delivering controlled, repeatable surface preparation before waxes, sealants or coatings. Its medium abrasive profile is formulated to work on light and dark finishes and across multiple substrates, and the tool rinses clean so you can keep working after accidental drops or heavy buildup.

How does the AUTOSCRUB remove embedded contaminants?

The AUTOSCRUB uses engineered rubber polymer fibers that gently lift and capture bonded particles instead of cutting the clearcoat. When used with a proper lubricant, the pad glides across the surface and shears away overspray, rail dust, water spots and tree sap without excessive pressure.

• Rubber polymer texture mechanically extracts fallout and particulates
• Works wet with spray lubricant or quick detailer for safe glide
• Rinses clean to clear trapped contaminants and restore effectiveness

Will this pad scratch or harm paint and glass?

Used correctly with ample lubrication, the General Grade AUTOSCRUB is formulated to decontaminate without abrading clearcoat. It’s recommended to work in small sections, maintain a lubricated surface, and check results frequently—this minimizes risk and keeps finishes safe.

• General Grade suited for both light and dark painted surfaces
• Safe on glass, plastic, trim and metal when used with lubricant
• Inspect and re-lubricate regularly to prevent surface marring

How does AUTOSCRUB compare to a clay bar in speed and durability?

The AUTOSCRUB outperforms traditional clay bars in both longevity and workflow. It maintains shape and grip, so you don’t need to stop folding and reforming; plus, it rinses clean to recover performance after heavy use or if dropped.

• Works up to three times faster than clay bars for the same coverage
• Lasts significantly longer—reusable and easy to clean with water
• No constant reshaping; consistent feel and handling through entire job

Can I use this by hand and with a machine?

Yes. The AUTOSCRUB is designed for hand use and is also available in machine-compatible pad variations. For best results, follow the product guidance for dual-action polishers and limit speed/pressure per manufacturer recommendations.

• Hand-held 7" x 7" towel offers precise manual control
• Compatible machine pads sold for orbital polishers when specified
• Always pair with a proper lubricant and moderate machine settings

Who is this for: Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB General Grade is aimed at car owners, detailers and body shop technicians who want a fast, reusable alternative to clay bars. It’s ideal for anyone preparing paint for wax, sealant or ceramic coating and for those who need a multi-substrate solution that works on paint, glass, plastic and metal without the frustration of clay bar folding or breakage.
