So, our coating now needs some love. what do we do...
Like all wash routines you go through the usual steps.
With a coating this is where my question begins, surface contaminate removal. Highly recommended NO CLAYING!!
SO this leaves us with chemical decontamination, iron remover and a APC wash both of which are in the Adams line.
My thoughts, Hoping because of coating the contaminates have not bonded to surface thus requiring mechanical removal (clay) thus starting a whole new set of processes.
Process thoughts:
Graphene coating use in this example:
- out of sun, cool paint temp
-spray car down, get a lot of dirt off if present
-iron remover let dwell
-foam gun with APC dilution or maybe (strip wash ??) as strip will not remove coating nor will APC. Dwell
-rinse
-blow dry if possible
-GCS3 or G detail spray buff. This has always made wonder, we use blower for less paint contact, then come back over with many contacts with our sprays. Yes the have lube agents but... mileage may vary and so with scratches i can only assume. Here is the thing, maybe overthinking to anal for a daily driver? But may thought we are here in the first place because we enjoy the BEST possible results for the time we put into the processes, no??
