Over time a car paintwork becomes contaminated with various materials, the main two are road tar and metal fallout. Road tar can be easily seen as small black dots on the lower areas of the car. Metal fallout is harder to see but if you look closely you will see small rust spots in the paint.
Paint contamination degrades the look of your paint, with a heavily contaminated car you will never be able to make it look clean.
Definition Detailing use a wide range of chemicals and materials to fully decontaminate your car. Paint decontamination is essential if you want your car to look its best
We offer a fully mobile paint decontamination service in the Yorkshire area
We begin with a deep exterior wash to remove loose dirt and grime. A high-quality snow foam is applied to break down surface contaminants, followed by a two-bucket hand wash to ensure a safe and thorough clean.
Once the surface is clean, we apply specialist decontamination products to break down bonded contaminants. A dedicated iron fallout remover is used to dissolve brake dust and industrial fallout, turning embedded particles into a liquid that can be safely rinsed away. A tar remover is then applied to dissolve stubborn road tar and adhesive residues, preventing them from becoming permanently embedded in the paint.
To remove any remaining contaminants that cannot be broken down chemically, we use a fine-grade clay bar. This step lifts microscopic particles from the paint, leaving the surface completely smooth. The clay bar glides over the paintwork, pulling out embedded dirt, tree sap, and any remaining residue that washing alone cannot remove.
After the clay treatment, the vehicle is given a final rinse with ultra-pure water to remove any remaining product residue. We then inspect the paint under specialist lighting to ensure a completely smooth, decontaminated surface that is ready for polishing or protection.
With the decontamination complete, the paint is now free from embedded contaminants, allowing for better adhesion of waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings. We offer tailored advice on the best protection options to maintain a clean and glossy finish, preventing future contamination and making ongoing maintenance easier.
Our paint decontamination service is essential for maintaining the health of your vehicle’s paintwork, preventing long-term damage, and ensuring a flawless finish. Whether preparing for further detailing or simply restoring a smooth, contaminant-free surface, this process is the foundation for achieving and maintaining a pristine look.
