Paint Preparation before polishing, waxes, sealants or ceramic coatings.

*Clay bar decontamination

After washing a vehicle, a clay bar is used to remove embedded contaminants in the paint like tar, oil, grease, grime, mold, mildew, minerals from water spots and tree sap among many others.

This process is reccomended at least once a year to prevent severe contamination.

Severe contamination may cause severe loss of gloss and may need to be fully removed with a rotary polisher and cutting compounds. If left untreated, it may cause clear coat failure which can only be repaired by new expensive paint.

*Iron fallout decontamination

Iron fall out is a term used to describe tiny iron particles that get embedded in a clear coat of a vehicle.

The most common source is through break dust. When breaks are applied, microscopic iron particles are released and some get stuck in the clear coat as we drive on roads and highways.

All vehicles get iron fallout but it is most noticeable on light color vehicles and specially white vehicles. They will look like small dark red dots and resemble rust.

Iron fall out can be removed chemically with special iron removing sprays.

Iron fallout decontamination. Iron fallout is a term for tiny iron particles that get stuck/embedded in clear coat from sources like break dust while driving. They can be removed with an iron fallout remover in the form of a chemical spray.

Selection process

After a wash, clay bar decontamination is next to remove surface contaminants like tar, oil, grease and tree sap. These contaminants cannot be removed by just washing.

One step paint corrections

One step paint corrections are for vehicles with light swirls and light faded clear coat.

Using a gloss meter

Step Two.

*Iron fallout decontamination

An iron fallout remover is then used to remove iron fallout embedded in paint. It is chemically removed.

All vehicles get iron fallout but it is very noticeable on white vehicles. They will look like small dark red dots on the paint.

This is recommended as maintenance and can then be protected by a coating like wax, sealants or ceramic coatings if swirls are not an issue.
