How To use Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads on Flex 3401


Last night I let all the guys try out the Nanoskin Autoscrub pads on the Flex 3401 to remove all the contaminants off Tommy's 1970 Cuda.

Here's Tommy using the 6" Nanoskin Autoscrub pad on the Flex 3401


Step 1: Spray panel down liberally using Nanoskin Glide Instant Detail Spray Lubricant




Step 2: Set speed to the 2-3 setting and then place Nanoskin Autoscrub pad against panel and move polisher over paint using medium arm speed with overlapping passes.



Be sure to hold pad flat to surface...









Optional: Machine polish and wax paint for a perfect show car shine...

Mike would any good QDer work, or do you have to use their product?

My guess is any quality spray detailer or clay lubricant would work just as well.


These things really get the paint smooth...

Does the standard flex 5.5" backing plate fit the 6" nanoskin pad best?

Yes.

Perfect, thanks Mike.

I used it last night and I would say it probably cuts the claying process time by 3\4.IMO.

I notice you have polishing afterwards as "optional". I'd think it would almost be mandatory. This has to mar more than Speedy towel which mars more than clay.

Everyone has different opinions of what a nice finish looks like. Me? I like to work on show cars and I like them to have a show car finish so it's a no brainer to me to machine polish everything.

That said, I'm good with making a strong recommendation but each person needs to decide what's best for them and their expectations. Heck I teach people to machine polish so you and I are on the same page...

Do you clean the pad during the "scrubbing" process or wait till you done the entire car? Also Mike, what's the best way of cleaning the pad once your done?
