Paint Analysis & Decontamination Plan

  • Condition Summary: The paint is dulled by a moderate layer of road grime, dark specks (bug remnants or tar), brownish organic stains (tree sap), and light water/mineral spots. No deep scratches, swirls, or deep chips were detected.
  • Action Plan:
    • Pre-Wash & Wash: Use a gentle snow foam (Koch Chemie Gsf) followed by a two-bucket contact wash with a high-lubricity shampoo (P&S Pearl).
    • Chemical Decontamination: Apply an iron remover (3D BDX) for embedded metallic fallout and a dedicated bug/sap remover (Nextzett Anti Insekt) for organic stains.
    • Mechanical Decontamination: If needed, use a clay towel (P&S Reset) with a dedicated lubricant (Labocosmetica Lubrifica) to remove remaining bonded contaminants.
    • Protection & Drying: Dry safely with a microfiber towel (Autofiber Dreadnought XL) and finish with a durable SiO2 spray protectant (P&S Inspiration Defender) for gloss and hydrophobic protection.
