Exterior Decontamination Wash
Over time, contaminants bond tightly to your paintwork and wheels. These include tar from the road, iron particles from brakes, tree sap, glue residues and general fallout from driving. These contaminants cannot be removed through normal washing and can damage paint if left untreated.
Our Decontamination Wash uses specialist chemicals and safe techniques to neutralise, dissolve and extract these contaminants from the paint surface, wheels and trims. This is an essential step before machine polishing or applying a ceramic coating to ensure the best results and maximum bonding.
Duration: 1 hour 45 minutes
Why does my car need exterior decontamination?
Your vehicle’s paintwork is exposed to harsh contaminants that embed into the clear coat, such as tar from the road, iron dust from brakes, tree sap, and other contaminants that cannot be removed with normal washing. These particles cause rough texture, dull reflections and poor protection performance.
If polishing or ceramic coating is carried out without proper decontamination, the results will be significantly reduced, and defects may even be locked beneath the coating.
A Blue Wave exterior decontamination can:
- Remove tar, iron fallout, sap, glue and industrial fallout
- Prepare your car’s paintwork for polishing or ceramic coating
- Help improve shine and clarity by clearing surface contaminants
- Protect paint from long-term staining and corrosion
- Note: exterior decontamination is included as part of our ceramic coating packages for optimal results.
