What the Heck is Clay Barring a Vehicle?
Is your Port Charlotte car's paint feeling more like sandpaper than a showroom finish? Are you tired of the rough texture on your car’s paint surface? Do you want to bring back that showroom shine and smoothness? Look no further than our specialized treatment in Southwest Florida.
What is Clay Bar Treatment?
This professional car detailing technique is designed to remove contaminants like dirt, road grime, tree sap, tar, and industrial fallout from your car’s paint. These contaminants can make your car’s finish feel rough and dull its appearance. Our treatment restores smoothness and shine by gently lifting and pulling away these contaminants, leaving your car’s surface feeling as smooth as glass.
Why Choose This Treatment in Charlotte County, FL?
Florida’s Climate Challenge: Florida’s unpredictable weather, with heavy rain, hail, tornadoes, heavy pollen, love bugs, hurricanes, and extreme heat/humidity, can damage car paint and cause the buildup of contaminants. Our treatment helps combat these issues, making your car’s paint more resilient against the elements.
Improved Aesthetics: The primary reason most car owners in Port Charlotte and surrounding areas opt for this service is the visual transformation it offers. After the treatment, your car’s paint will regain its deep shine and vibrant color, making it look as if it just rolled off the showroom floor.
Enhanced Protection: This service isn’t just about looks; it also provides a protective layer. With contaminants removed, your car’s sealant or ceramic coating can adhere better to the paint surface, offering improved protection against UV rays, environmental pollutants, and water damage.
The Treatment Process
At Orange Ya Dirty in Port Charlotte, our special treatment typically involves the following steps:
Steam Wash the Car: The process begins with a thorough steam car wash to remove loose dirt and debris. This also helps loosen and/or remove dirt hidden in the surface pores.
Lubrication: A lubricant is applied to a small section of the car’s paint surface to ensure the treatment glides smoothly.
Application: The treatment is gently moved across the lubricated surface, with its tackiness helping to pick up contaminants.
Check and Repeat: The technician regularly inspects the treatment tool to see the level of contamination. If it becomes too dirty, they’ll fold and reshape it to expose a clean surface.
Surface Prep: We use a specific type of chemical to remove any last-minute oils, residues, waxes, or other chemicals left on the surface of the paint.
Protection: To seal the refreshed surface, a layer of sealant or ceramic coating is applied for long-lasting protection and shine.
DIY vs. Professional Clay Bar Treatment
While DIY clay bar kits are available, it’s important to note that professional car detailing offers several advantages. Experts have the knowledge to assess your car’s needs, use the right clay bar grade, and apply the correct technique to avoid any potential damage. Moreover, professionals can follow up with a sealant/ceramic coating application, ensuring lasting results.
