What is Decontamination or Decon Wash?

The more a vehicle is driven, it is exposed to industrial pollutants like brake dust, tar, oil, grime, etc. These may not be removed sufficiently by the shampoo and or presoak/snow foam that would be included in a normal/maintenance washing routine.

A Decon (decontamination) Wash process, adds extra steps to your normal/maintenance wash aiming to specifically remove contaminants through chemical means from the paint or ceramic coating surface to deeply clean and restore lustre. 

This should be done according to the following considerations:

  • how often a car is driven
  • regularity of cleaning
  • how its stored.
The extra steps would be:
  1. Apply GTECHNIQ (W5) Citrus All Purpose Cleaner and/or (W9) Water Spot remover and allow to dwell, then rinse
  2. Apply GTECHNIQ (W6) Iron remover, allow to dwell and then rinse
  3. Apply GTECHNIQ (W7) or Autoglym Intensive Tar remover for any tar specks or adhesive remover and rinse
  4. A final wash with GTECHNIQ or AUTOGLYM shampoos, and careful dry with microfiber towel and air drying
  5. Wipe down vehicle with GTECHNIQ Panel Wipe
  6. Apply GTECHNIQ Ceramic Sealant (formerly C2V3) to boost protection and reinvigorate water and dirt repellency

Please Note: If your car is rough, heavily contaminated, etc, and requires clay, a different strategy would be required.

We provide a Decon Wash service from R950 depending on vehicle size and condition requirements as well as stock the products you need for sale if you wish to do it yourself.
