The Risk of Improper Washing
Traditional sponge washes or automated brush machines can inflict micro-scratches (swirl marks) on vehicle paintwork. Our recommended protocols focus entirely on damage mitigation.
Core Methodology
- 1. Wheel Calibration: Wheels, tyres, and arches are addressed first to prevent brake dust transfer to paintwork.
- 2. Non-Contact Pre-Wash: Application of snow foam and citrus degreasers to lift heavy surface contamination safely.
- 3. High-Pressure Rinse: Carefully controlled water pressure to remove loosened particulates.
- 4. Safe Contact Wash: Utilising the two-bucket method with grit guards and ultra-soft microfibre wash mitts.
- 5. Safe Drying: Utilising plush drying towels or forced filtered air to minimise friction on the clearcoat.
Disclaimer
Washing alone cannot remove existing scratches or ingrained contamination. Outcomes depend on the vehicle's pre-existing condition.
