Traditional clay bars are still effective, but they’re also time-consuming, messy, and prone to dropping. If you’re a professional detailer looking to save time without sacrificing results, Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads offer a faster, reusable, and more efficient alternative.
Using advanced rubber polymer technology, these pads eliminate the need for traditional detailing clay while delivering consistent decontamination results on paint, glass, moldings, and even plastic surfaces.
What Are Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads?
Nanoskin pads are designed to remove bonded contaminants like:
- Paint overspray
- Water spots
- Tree sap
- Industrial fallout and rail dust
Each pad features a polymerized rubber face that mimics the cleaning power of clay but can be used with your dual-action polisher, like a Flex or Porter Cable.
They’re available in Medium Grade (for heavier contamination) and Fine Grade (for delicate finishes or maintenance work).
How to Use a Nanoskin Clay Pad for Cars
- Prep the surface with a proper pre-wash or foam cannon to remove loose dirt.
- Apply clay lubricant to your working area.
- Attach the pad to your DA polisher using a hook-and-loop backing plate.
- Set your machine to low speed (no more than 3 or 4).
- Make slow, overlapping passes with little to no pressure—let the pad glide.
- Wipe down with a microfiber towel and inspect your surface before polishing.
These pads dramatically reduce the risk of marring when used properly and cut your clay bar prep time by more than half.
Nanoskin Mitts, Towels & Pad Options
If you prefer hand use over machine polishing, Nanoskin also offers:
- Autoscrub Mitts: Ideal for quick decontamination during washes
- Clay Towels: Excellent for tight areas or fast prep work
- DA Pad Formats: Best for full-body decontamination before correction
Each option is reusable, washable, and available in both fine and medium grades to match different surface conditions.
In this video, learn how the advanced rubber polymer technology safely removes overspray, water spots, tree sap, and rail dust from paint, glass, trim, and plastic. These pads are easily mounted to a DA polisher such as the Porter Cable or Flex, allowing professionals to save time and increase efficiency.
