Nanoskin (AS-019) AutoScrub Fine Grade Sponge

Great product. Better than clay bar in our opinion. Will continue to use.

Just like others, I didn't believe it until I tried it out. Works just like a clay bar only easier. The one thing I hated about clay bars was the constant kneading of the product and if it falls, you are screwed. With the NanoSkin Scrub, use a detailer spray, any will work (I used Meguiar's Quik Detailer, red bottle. and work the area until its smooth as glass. Mine fell twice, I simply picked it up, cleaned it with water and some detailer spray and microfiber towel, and back to working on the car. I honestly looked at the surface I was working on several times at different angles to make sure this product wasn't scratching the surface. Overall, worked as advertised, IMO better than a clay bar. Used the same scrub on two cars, one hasn't been clayed for years, with great results. Update: I've had this product since July 2015. Used it about 6 times since and still works great. I just finishing 'claying' a car a few days ago that hasn't been clayed since the winter, still left that smooth glass feel on the paint. For anyone that doesn't have this yet, GET IT. Easier and safer to use than regular clay.

This sponge was recommended in a newsletter I subscribe to, the author is a detailer but likes to help those of us who don't want to invest a lot of time on our "daily driver" but still want to take better care of our cars. He gave great tips on using these sponges to help remove paint contaminants during a wash. These sponges made the paint clearer than a wash alone, and added very little time to the process. No swirl marks. Very pleased.

I purchased 2 of these sponges. One for myself and one for a friend. The product was nicely packaged, and arrived quickly through Amazon Fulfillment Services. This is a very good paint claying tool, designed to create ease in dust, grime and other nasty stuff that sits on our car paint and gradually embeds it. The kind of stuff, which cannot be removed by simple car wash shampoo. Previously I had used clay bars. While the clay bars do an excellent job at cleaning painted surface, they have some shortcomings too. Like they cannot be removed after first use. They cannot be used, if dropped on the floor or road. Enter Nanoskin Autoscrub. Not only is this product very easy to use, it also allows to be reused. If dropped on the floor, simply wash it with plain water and start using again. It is also very time efficient, when compared to traditional clay bars. This product promises to clean upto 25 cars from one sponge. In a way, this is the last claying product, I would probably buy. To use, keep spraying/pouring lubricant over the panel. For good results, Nanoskin Glide can be used. Although this is down to personal preference as well.

Overall a great product, I did one car and it looks literally amazing, huge improvement! The tactile feedback the sponge gives is hard to read, ordinary polishing gives clear feedback which is quite satisfying. The feedback you get from the sponge isn't satisfying, it's puzzling from beginning to end but by the end the results trump the effort. Sorry to use the T word, but sanders in relation to paint ... seemed counter to my intent. I tried several methods with the sponge, the method that worked best was using a (clean!) 5 gallon bucket with a few inches of water in it and some shampoo (for hair), not too much shampoo though, maybe a cap full. Rinse the sponge frequently, wring it out lightly, wet the surface with back of sponge first then start rubbing the rubber side over the paint. Work in small areas, move on when the confusing input tells you to. I washed the car after, dried it and waxed it and it looks like glass, super tactile and inviting, makes you want to touch it. Recommended!

Honestly, I was very skeptical of this nano skin. I hate to sound like one of those car commercial guys, but this thing smooth out my new paint job more than I ever thought it could. Stunning shine with minimal effort. You might not notice it as much the first time but the second or third time you will step away and feel the difference immediately.

💯 percent impressed with this little 'clay bar'. First time I have used one. Used this on my gf's 8 yr old car which had some weather damage from rain and dust. I need my cars to have a smooth as silk surface when going over it with my hand - should be like a babys butt. This sponge did better than expected, and in much less time than buffing the finish with a machine. Two tips: Use a little Dawn liquid in the bucket (as suggested by a buyer) and make sure you have enough water when using. You'll like the finished result.

I was very skeptical about these clay alternatives, being a clay fanatic and such. Well, I am impressed! Both of these work great, and leave a silky smooth finish. Just like clay, they can induce a bit of marring visible only on darker paint, but you can't really get away from that regardless of the products you use. I have so far done 4 full size vehicles and they look brand new. I couple this with super-soapy water, I use Chemical Guys Maxi Suds or Citrus Wash & Gloss double-strength. Really helps get bugs and tar off. Did not streak, and I like that I can use soapy water instead of a specific QD or Clay Lube (Although I LOVE Chemical Guys Luber) without risking destroying my tools. I will gladly purchase another set when these wear out, although at this point I'm not sure they really will. Foam is semi-firm, and holds a bit of water - so give it a quick squeeze for some more lubrication? :)

I bought this way back in 2017 and have used it quite liberally on two of my cars. It has really lasted for over 5 years. It did its job well too. Removed all contamination from the paint and made the surface glass smooth. For the years it lasted, I would say it was worth the money I paid.

I was looking for a clay mit and saw this sponge and had great reviews and its very good.its fits in your hand,if you have a small car like me a venue its fine but if you own something bigger like a truck it will take longer.

Mucho mejor que la plastilina, he limpiado mas de 5 carros con ella y a diferencia de una plastilina que es mas cara y probablemente ya la hubiera tenido que desechar este producto al contrario a resistido muy bien al uso rudo y ligero y funciona deja muy buenos resultados

My car

Nunca había utilizado ningún producto de este tipo, apenas cumplí un año con mi vehículo y decidí descontaminar la pintura para luego encerarlo. Entonces, consideré como opción éste producto. Es muy fácil de utilizar, como lubricante utilicé agua y shampoo para auto, funciona muy bien, se siente como extrae la contaminación de la pintura. Cabe mencionar que la contaminación de mi auto era poca. Probablemente se requiera utilizar el otro grado medio para otros vehículos menos recientes. La pintura de mi auto quedó como nueva y muy lisa.
