Can this or will this end the clay bar?

NANOSKIN Autoscrub 6 inch Pad - Better and Faster than Claying



Wow is all I can say about this new tool and new technology. I believe this will change the way most pro detailers and DIYers will prep their cars. This is truly a time saver and will pay for itself after a couple detail jobs. We have spent in some cases 1-2 hours claying and prepping a midsize sedan (in rough shape) we recently tested the AutoScrub on an Audi S8 and we were finished in about 15 minutes! You really won't believe this until you try it yourself. The AutoScrub will make you leave your clay bar behind.

NANOSKIN AutoScrub works fast and achieves professional results with the new advanced rubber polymer technology, which replaces the use of clay bars.

A dual action orbital polisher is required. AutoScrub will safely and easily removes paint over spray, water spots, tree sap, rail dust and other bonded surface contaminants from the surface of automotive paint, glass, moldings and plastic.

AutoScrub works great with your favorite detail spray or clay lubricant. Unlike the clay bar, the AutoScrub can be cleaned by simply rinsing off the accumulated contaminates with water. If you drop the AutoScrub on the ground, no worries, just rinse the sponge pad clean and you're ready to keep using it.

AutoScrub allows for sturdy and controlled handling, unlike clay bars where constant reshaping is required.

Features
- Lasts up to 4 times longer than clay bars
- Glides on & off easily for a slick finish
- If inadvertently dropped on shop floor, simply rinse clean
- Up to 50-60 uses before you need to replace it

Directions
1. Thoroughly wash vehicle free of dust, sand, and dirt.
2. Mist sufficient detail spray or clay lubricant onto the surface evenly.
3. Polish the surface with dual action orbital polisher using light pressure (Low Speed).
4. Wipe off residue and move on to compound and polishing or even go straight to your last step.

Important tips:
- Sufficient lubrication is crucial to the AUTOSCRUB application.
- DO NOT use water
- DO NOT use with rotary polisher.

Take a look at the 3 offers we have. Pre Order Pricing is in effect, we should have the first wave by Friday.

None of the pix show an "after" , I'd like to see what kind of marring happens seeing the pad doesn't encapsulate what it removes. It seems like it would have a tendency to rub what it removed back into the surface.

videos to come.

don't worry we have enough cars under our belt to tell you it works well.

marring will happen if you put pressure on the machine.

speed one and just glide it over the panel.

how exactly does this save time? seems like it would take the same amount of time if not longer, especially if the DA is used.

at the shop we take about 45min to 1hr 30 min on average per car.

the autoscrub has brought the decon time down to 15-20 minutes per car.

we just did a 2012 Audi S4 in about 10-15 minutes.

last week we were able to do an 09 Audi S8 in about 15-18 minutes.

the spots that we were not able to use the DA on we use the 3 inch hand applicator

It sounds a little too good to be true, particularly the part about dropping it on the floor and it lasting four times longer than a clay-bar. How is that possible, considering a claybar is just supposed to remove contaminants? It should have no effect on the paint after the fact.

yes I would have to agree I felt the same way.
but if you get your hands on it you will understand the concept.

I will try to get a video out.

You say marring will take place if you put pressure on it....seems like it removes some of the 'idiot-proof' that makes clay so popular.

It will not remove any clear if done right, there is absolutely no pressure except for the weight of the machine.

I have seen some massive mistakes done with a clay bar.

1hr and 30min to clay a car? this amount of time only seems feasible on a suburban with overspray, shotgun fungus, bug guts, rail dust, and road tar.

those are the cars we are getting remember we do full corrections and most jobs are 10-30 hours.

we have gotten cars that we need 2 clay bars on totally trashed. and even with the clay bar the rail dust did not come off. (white suv, rear tailgate, those little rust/brown spots)
