We commonly refer that to lose contaminants. The dirt and debris that is removed from your car is technically above surface contaminants, it’s just not stuck on above surface contaminants.
But before that, you first need to thoroughly wash your vehicle. There are a few ways to check if your car has above surface contamination.

How To Check For Above Surface Contaminants So it’s not that much of a hassle (unless you’re the unlucky kind and get paint overspray on your car on a regular basis). You only need to do it once or twice per year. In short, if you want to take my direct advice, I highly suggest you clay your paint. So if there’s two cars and over the course of 4 years, Car A has always been well taken care of and Car B has been building up a bunch of nasty gunk on the paint, then it’s highly probable that Car A will look much better for a longer period of time compared to Car B that wasn’t maintained. However, with that being said, what’s the best way to maintain anything for a long period of time? Keeping it healthy! To be honest, there’s no hard case studies where someone ran multiple tests to see if this is going to damage your paint. 80% of the debris can be removed with a thorough wash, but the other 20% sticks to your clear coat (paint) like glue and a thorough wash will not remove it.Īnother big worry people have is is this going to damage my car? Do I need to remove it NOW? Whether it’s nice and sunny outside or it’s pouring down rain, some debris will land on your car. If you drive your car at all, you’re prone to getting some above surface contaminants onto your paint.
So, has my car always had this rough texture? How did it get there? Do all cars have this? Above Surface Contamination And How It Worksĭon’t worry, above surface contamination is not a technical term, that’s just how detailers describe what you have going on. In this article, I’m going to go more in-depth on how your paint got to the point of the rough texture and how you can remove it ( the paint should feel as smooth as glass). It can be things like industrial fallout, paint overspray, metal shavings, dust, etc… In short, that rough texture that you feel is basically a mix of micro-level dirt that has stuck to your clear coat that won’t come off with a simple wash. Don’t be alarmed! This is perfectly normal (although it’s something you’d want to fix by claying the paint). However, that doesn’t mean your paint is completely clean.Ī common complaint I hear from people is even after they’ve washed their vehicle, they feel a rough texture when they run their hand over the paint. Your car does look a lot better since you removed the heavy-caked on layer of dust and dirt. The common thought most people have is when you wash your car, that means you have effectively removed all the dirt, grime, and debris that was accumulated during driving.Īt a higher surface level, this is true.
