Hand Wash & Protect

Over the course of time, a generous amount of contaminants accumulates on the paint. Paint defects such as holograms, swirl marks, and scratches can form when these contaminants rub against the paint. These mainly occur due to poor maintenance and from improper washing. Most of these defects can be prevented or greatly minimized by using the proper techniques, tools, and products. 

 

One of the most overlooked detailing steps in achieving a flawless finish is removing contaminants from the vehicle.  Paint contamination can be any airborne chemical compounds that can cause clear coat failure over time. Fresh contaminants can be removed with a proper wash. However, holding off on a car wash for months can result in contaminants to penetrate or bond to the paint, and over time, eat into the clear coat thereby causing pitting, premature clear coat failure, and other permanent imperfections. If the paint surface is contaminated, cleaning the paint using an Iron X and a clay bar will allow any surface protection, such as waxes, sealants, and ceramic coatings to adhere stronger onto the paint. The surface protectant will provide greater durability, protection, and resistance to airborne contaminants if the paint is fully decontaminated!
