The traditional wash process does a great job of removing dirt and grime from the exterior surface of your vehicle. There can however be times when washing doesn’t remove all of the contaminants on the surface and what you are left with is contamination that is actually embedded into the paint. This is due to the vehicle’s surface always being exposed to different contamination on a daily basis and this grime can bury itself in the pores of your paint.
When this happens you need a tool like a clay bar to help you safely pull and lift these contaminants away. Because the claying process is a crucial step in every detailer’s decontamination process and it will help ensure a complete and thorough cleaning. Which is also why it’s an important part of our Detailing Packages at Sunset North Car Wash.
