WASH CLAY AND SEAL

So you may wonder what a “WASH CLAY SEAL“is.

1.PRE WASH

WE DO THIS BY FOAMING ON A DEDICATED PRE RINSE.THIS REMOVES THE ROAD GRIT SAFELY FROM THE SURFACE WE FOAM ON A PREWASH LET IT DWELL THEN RINSE OFF.THIS IS DONE WITH HIGHER PH SOAP THIS STARTS BRAKING DOWN THE ORGANIC CONTAMINATION SUCH AS BUG GUTS ON YOUR GRILL

2.CONTACT WASH

THIS IS DONE BY FOAMING ON A RINSLESS WASH AND USING A RINSLESS WASH IN OUR BUCKET THAT IS PH NEUTRAL. WE THEN HAND WASH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE THEN RINSE AND APPLY FOAM AGAIN.

3.CLAY AND IRON REMOVER

WITH THIS STEP WE ARE SPRAYING IRON REMOVER ON THE SURFACE AND USING THE CLAY TOWEL TO PLUCK THE CONTAMINATES OUT OF THE CLEAR COAT(MAINLY BRAKE DUST PARTICLES THAT GET STUCK IN THE CLEAR COAT) THE IRON REMOVER THEN SAFELY NEUTRALIZES ANY LEFTOVER IRON TRACES. WE THEN RINSE THE VEHICLE AGAIN.

YOU CAN CHECK IF YOUR CAR NEEDS THIS BY SIMPLY TAKING A ZIPLOCK BAG PUTING YOUR HAND IN AND RUBBING THE SURFACE OF YOUR CAR YOU WILL FEEL THE CONTAMINATION AS THE BAG RUNS ALONG THE PAINT. CLEAR COAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN PLASTIC SO THE HOT IRON BRAKE DUST IN THE AIR AROUND YOU COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT SETTLES ON THE CLEAR COAT AND THIS ALLOWES IT TO LITERALLY STICK TO THE PLASTIC CLEARCOAT.

4.MINERAL CLEANSE

WE SPRAY WATER SPOT REMOVER SOLUTION WHICH IS ACIDIC IN NATURE WICH DISOLVES THE MINERAL CONTAMINATION OUT OF THE PORES OF THE PAINT(OR CERAMIC COATING)THEN WE RINSE AGAIN

HERE IN WESTERN PA YOU COULD ARGUE THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE STEP THAT CANT BE SKIPPED. MOST DETAILERS END THE DECON PROCESS WITH STEP 3 I HOWEVER DO NOT. THE MINERAL CLENSE FOR US HERE IS MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF WHAT PENNDOT THROWS DOWN IN THE WINTER. RATHER IT SALT OR BRINE THIS IS A CONTAMINATE YOU DONT SEE OR FEEL BUT IT’S THERE, CLEAR COAT IS FILLED WITH PEAKS AND VALLEYS THE MINERALS LAY TAKING AWAY THE NATURAL HYDROPHOBIC PROPERTIES OF PAINT OR YOUR COATING IN THE VALLEYS. WE WANT THIS OUT BECAUSE WHEN WE PUT THE SEALANT ON WE WANT IT IN THE VALLEYS TO PROTECT THEM.

5.SEALANT

THIS STEP WE APPLY A HIGH QUALITY SEALANT TO THE SURFACE PENETRATING INTO THOSE PORES WE PLUCKED OPEN WITH IRON REMOVER AND CLAY TOWEL AND FILLING THE VALLEYS WE JUST FLUSHED THE MINERALS OUT OF. THIS PROCESS INSURES THE SEALANT HAS A SOLID FOUNDATION TO ADHERE TO GIVING AT LEAST 6 MONTHS PROTECTION IF MANTAINED PROPERLY YOU CAN GET UP TO 12 MONTHS PROTECTION. THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS THE SAME STEPS USED FOR PREPING FOR A CERAMIC COATING APPLICATION ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING I POLISH TO ABRADE THE SURFACE FOR THE COATING.
