Paint Contamination

Paint Contamination

Our Paint Contamination collection features specialist products designed to safely remove bonded and embedded contaminants from your vehicle’s paintwork.

These include iron fallout, tar spots, road grime, industrial fallout, tree sap, and other particles that regular washing can’t remove.

Left untreated, these contaminants can lead to surface damage, poor gloss levels, and reduced protection performance.

From iron fallout removers and tar removers to clay bars and lubricants, this collection gives you everything needed to restore a smooth, clean, and decontaminated surface before polishing or sealing.

Why is Decontamination Necessary?

• Damage: Contaminants like brake dust and insect acids can eat into the paint's clear coat, causing etching, rust spots, and peeling paint
• Appearance: Embedded contaminants dull the paint's shine and reduce clarity
• Preparation: Removing contaminants is crucial before polishing or applying ceramic coatings to ensure they bond correctly and are effective

How Do You Decontaminate?

• Chemical Decontamination: Use specialized products that chemically dissolve contaminants like iron fallout
• Clay Bar Treatment: A detailing clay bar, used with a lubricant, is a mechanical method to remove stubborn, embedded contaminants
• Tar & Bug Removers: Specific products are designed to safely dissolve tar, tree sap, and bug residues that chemical removers cannot
• Prevention: Regular waxing or ceramic coating application creates a protective layer that makes contaminant removal much easier
