Nanoskin Autoscrub Pad 6" Fine-Grade Decon Pad — Reusable for Paint, Glass & Metal

The Nanoskin Autoscrub Pad (6") is a fine-grade, reusable surface decontamination tool designed to remove bonded contaminants from paint, glass, plastic and metal before waxing or coating.

If you want a faster, longer-lasting alternative to traditional clay bars, the Nanoskin Autoscrub delivers efficient exfoliation of surface fallout and deposits without the need to reshape or reform a bar. Built to work wet with a lubricant, this fine-grade 6" pad targets light to moderate contamination on darker or delicate finishes and is compatible with a variety of maintenance workflows including machine polishing, hand decon, and glass prep.

How does the Autoscrub pad remove stuck-on contaminants?

The pad uses a patented micro-structure that mechanically lifts and traps particles instead of spreading them across the surface. When used with an appropriate spray lubricant, the pad glides while abrading the topmost bonded grime, extracting brake dust, industrial fallout, rail dust, overspray, sap and similar residues.

• Micro-engineered texture grabs and holds contaminants for clean removal
• Works wet to reduce surface friction and protect clear coat
• Removes fallout without harsh chemicals or abrading clear coat layer
• Safe on paint, glass, plastic and metal when used as directed

Why choose this fine grade over a clay bar?

The fine grade Autoscrub is created for light to moderate contamination and darker paints that can show marks easily. Unlike clay bars that require folding and reforming, the Autoscrub maintains performance for many uses and cleans quickly if accidentally dropped — just rinse and continue.

• Up to 3x faster at working surfaces than traditional clay
• Designed to last significantly longer — fewer replacements
• No folding, reshaping or crumbling like clay bars
• Reusable after simple rinsing; holds shape during use

Can I use the 6" pad with machine polishers or by hand?

The Autoscrub fine-grade pad is versatile: available in machine-polishable forms and also in hand-friendly formats like mitts and sponges. The 6" size works well for controlled, even coverage whether you are working by hand or with a dual-action polisher designed for decontamination steps.

• Compatible with dual-action machine polishers in a polishable variant
• Available as a hand mitt, sponge or towel alternative for manual use
• 6" form factor balances reach with precision around panels and glass
• Use with recommended lubricant sprays to protect paint while exfoliating

What maintenance and precautions should I follow?

Rinse the pad thoroughly after each panel and inspect for embedded debris to avoid reintroducing contaminants. Store dry and out of direct sunlight; if dropped, a quick rinse removes floor particles so you can resume work. Avoid aggressive force—use steady, overlapping passes with lubricant for best results.

• Rinse and inspect between sections to prevent trapped grit
• Keep pad lubricated during use to minimize friction
• Replace when micro-structure shows excessive wear
• Not a substitute for abrasive polish—use prior to correction or protection steps

Who is this for: The Nanoskin Autoscrub 6" fine-grade pad is ideal for detailers, DIY car care enthusiasts and professional shops that need a quicker, longer-lasting decontamination step than clay bars. It suits vehicles with light to moderate bonded fallout, owners preparing paint or glass for waxes, sealants or ceramic protection, and anyone who prefers reusable, low-fuss detailing tools that integrate into both hand and machine workflows.
