Exterior Decontamination Wash in Bristol
A deep-cleaning process that removes embedded contaminants from paintwork, glass, and wheels—such as iron fallout, road tar, tree sap, and bird droppings—that cannot be removed by regular washing. This process is crucial to prevent long-term paint damage like corrosion, restore gloss, and ensure that protective products like waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings can properly bond to the surface. It is generally recommended to decontaminate your vehicle every 3–6 months.
Why a Decontamination Wash is Essential for Your Paintwork
Bonded contaminants like industrial fallout, iron particles from brake dust, and road tar don't just make your paint feel rough; they can permanently etch into your car's clear coat if left untreated. This service safely removes these harmful deposits, preventing long-term damage and creating a perfect surface for wax or sealant to bond to.
Our Meticulous, Health-Focused
Deep Clean Process
Step 1: Pre-Wash & Snow Foam
The process begins with a thick snow foam pre-wash to lift surface dirt and grit, minimizing the risk of scratches during the contact wash.
Step 2: Chemical Decontamination
We then apply dedicated, pH-neutral removers to dissolve stubborn road tar, glue residue, and iron fallout particles from the paintwork.
Step 3: Physical Decontamination (Clay Bar)
Finally, we use a professional clay bar with a lubricant to gently lift away any remaining bonded contaminants, leaving the surface perfectly smooth and clean.
