About the range

Decontamination

Decontamination removes what a wash leaves stuck to the car: iron fallout from brake dust, tar spots, baked-on insects, water spots and the rough film you can feel on a clean panel. The range runs from fallout removers such as CarPro IronX and Autobead Iron Fallout Remover to clay, clay lube and panel wipes.

How to choose

Good to know

  • Chemicals first, clay second: the less contamination left on the paint, the less the clay drags and marks it.
  • Clay and tar removers strip old wax, so protect the paint straight after, or polish first if the clay has left light marks.

How do I decontaminate my car paint?

After a wash, use the chemicals first: an iron fallout remover for brake dust and a tar remover for tar spots. Then clay whatever is still bonded, with plenty of lube, and protect the paint straight after, because clay and tar removers strip old wax.
