Clay Bar Treatment.
Remove bonded surface contamination that ordinary washing may leave behind and reveal cleaner, noticeably smoother paint.
Clean Paint Can Still Feel Rough.
Even after a thorough wash, tiny particles can remain bonded to the paint. These contaminants may make the surface feel rough and reduce the clean, reflective appearance of the finish.
Clay bar treatment uses detailing clay or a professional clay medium with proper lubrication to lift eligible bonded contamination from the exterior surface.

What Can Bond to Your Paint?
Vehicles are exposed to environmental and roadway contaminants that may not release during routine washing.
Road Film and Grime
Fine roadway particles and residue can remain attached to lower panels and other exposed painted surfaces.
Industrial Fallout
Airborne particles can settle onto the finish and gradually become embedded in the exterior surface.
Rail and Brake Dust
Tiny metallic particles can settle on paint and create a rough or speckled surface over time.
Tree-Related Residue
Fine organic residue and airborne particles from outdoor parking may remain after an ordinary wash.
Light Overspray
Certain fine overspray particles may bond to exterior surfaces and require mechanical decontamination.
Embedded Surface Particles
Small contaminants may remain invisible while still making the paint feel rough to the touch.
From Contaminated to Smooth
Proper preparation and lubrication help remove eligible contaminants without aggressively treating the paint.
Wash
Loose dirt and surface grime are removed before mechanical decontamination begins.
Inspect
The exterior surface is reviewed to identify rough areas and bonded contamination.
Decontaminate
A professional clay medium and proper lubricant are used on eligible painted surfaces.
Finish
The surface is checked and prepared for the selected finishing or protection service.
A Better Foundation for the Finish
Removing bonded contamination does more than improve the way paint feels. It creates a cleaner surface for additional polishing or protection when those services are appropriate.

Removing eligible bonded particles can leave treated paint noticeably smoother to the touch.
Cleaner Appearance
Decontamination helps reveal a cleaner exterior surface after embedded particles have been removed.
Paint-Correction Preparation
A properly decontaminated surface provides a better starting point before eligible paint correction.
Protection Preparation
Removing contamination helps prepare eligible paint for wax, sealant or ceramic coating options.
Does the Paint Need More Than Decontamination?
Paint correction can address eligible visible imperfections, while ceramic coating provides longer-lasting protection options.
