Road Contamination
Fine road film and environmental contamination can remain attached to the paint even after normal washing.
Clay Bar Treatment in Newmarket
Clay bar treatment removes bonded contaminants that normal washing can leave behind. It helps create a smoother, cleaner paint surface and prepares the vehicle for Wash & Wax, polishing, paint correction or ceramic coating.
What Clay Bar Treatment Does
Even when a vehicle looks clean after washing, the paint can still feel rough because small contaminants remain bonded to the surface. Clay treatment is used after washing to safely lift that contamination away.
Fine road film and environmental contamination can remain attached to the paint even after normal washing.
If freshly washed paint still feels gritty or rough, bonded contamination may be sitting on the clear coat.
Removing bonded contamination gives Wash & Wax, polishing and ceramic coating a cleaner surface to work with.
Our Process
The vehicle is washed first using a paint-safe exterior cleaning process so loose dirt and surface grime are removed before decontamination.
We check the paint for rough areas and bonded contamination that remain after washing.
A lubricated clay process is used to lift bonded contaminants from the paint surface.
The smoother paint is ready for Wash & Wax, polishing, paint correction or ceramic coating when applicable.
Clay treatment removes contamination sitting on the paint surface. It does not remove swirl marks, scratches or oxidation. If the goal is to improve visible paint defects and gloss, paint correction or paint enhancement may be the better next step.
