The type of contaminants on any given vehicles surface depends on the environment it is exposed to on a regular basis.  The most common items removed from a vehicles paint after a claybar treatment in Gainesville are rail dust, acid rain fallout, lovebugs, tar, sap, and overspray.  All of these agents if left on the paint for any extended period of time will cause damage.  The only way to prevent damage is through proper vehicle care and maintenance.  The way that the claybar works is by “grabbing” the bonded pieces and pulling it our of the clearcoat and paint that it has found a home in.  Now you are beginning to see the value of having lovebugs removed in Gainesville with a claybar treatment.  How can you tell when a painted surface needs to have a claybar treatment?  Texture, its all about texture.

After washing your vehicle  and thoroughly drying it, take the time to run your hand across and feel the surface. Does it feel silky smooth?  Does it feel like sandpaper?  If the later is what you are feeling then it is time for a claybar treatment.  Washing and waxing alone will not keep things from bonding to the paint.  Every so often, usually once a year, it is required to strip all of the wax off and perform a claybar treatment to restore the paint to its original clean state.   All vehicles that receive a claybar treatment must get waxed, no exceptions.
