What Is an Auto Scrub and How Does It Work?

Autoscrub — is a modern tool for safe contact cleaning of a car's body. It removes stubborn dirt, bitumen, insects, and oxidation layers without scratching the paintwork. Unlike traditional clay, Autoscrub uses a polymer surface and works with a lubricant. Let’s see how it works. In addition, to give your car a unique and presentable look, we recommend using tuning accessories, a wide range of which can be found in our product catalog.

How Autoscrub Works

Autoscrub is a sponge, mitt, or pad with a special polymer rubber or synthetic material applied to its working surface. Its effectiveness lies in the following:

1. Physical removal: When gliding over the surface, the polymer layer gently lifts and removes microparticles that have penetrated the paint pores.
2. Contaminant capture: The working surface of the scrub often has grooves or pores. These elements trap removed contaminants (bitumen, resin, soot), preventing them from scratching the paint during further movement.
3. Key role of lubricant: Using Autoscrub always requires a special lubricant or soapy solution. The lubricant ensures safe gliding of the tool and prevents micro-scratches.

Advantages of Use

Using this tool allows you to remove persistent contaminants that regular washing cannot handle:

• Bitumen stains and tree resin.
• Insect traces and bird droppings.
• Metal dust (rail dust) and soot.
• Residues of old protective coatings.

Main advantages of Autoscrub:

• Durability: Can be easily rinsed with water and reused.
• Safety: Does not get damaged if dropped, unlike clay.
• Speed: Thanks to the large working surface, the cleaning process is much faster.

After treatment with Autoscrub, the surface becomes perfectly smooth, providing an ideal base for applying protective wax or ceramic coating.
