The job
Carolina pollen, brake dust and road film bond to your clear coat over time, and automatic washes grind them in with recycled brushes. We foam the vehicle first so grit floats off, then hand wash with clean mitts and separate rinse buckets.
Chemical decontamination pulls embedded iron and tar out of the paint, which is why the finish feels glass-smooth afterward instead of just looking shiny. A spray sealant locks it in for about six months of easier washes and better beading.
Water and power ride on the van, so a driveway or an office parking spot is all we need.
How it goes
- Wheels, tires and wells first, so brake-dust grit never touches the paint mitts
- Foam pre-soak dwells while we work, lifting film off the clear coat
- Two-bucket hand wash, then chemical iron and tar decontamination
- Protect: six-month sealant, glass polished, trim and tires dressed
