Decontamination & Wash (Mid-Tier Decon Focus)
Essential defense against bonded contaminants — restores smooth, clean paint ready for protection.
Book This ServiceThe Decontamination & Wash (Mid-Tier Decon Focus) is your essential first-line defense against embedded contaminants, restoring your vehicle's paint to a smooth, clean foundation—ideal for highway-driven cars in Salt Lake City that accumulate iron fallout from brake dust, rail dust, industrial pollution, road salt residue, bugs, and tar.
This service goes far beyond a standard wash by targeting invisible bonded contaminants that regular soap can't remove, preventing scratches during future washes and prepping the surface for better protection (like our Malco Cherry Flash wax or advanced ceramics).
What’s Included
- Targeted Fallout & Iron Removal — Premium iron dissolvers (P&S Iron Buster and Crystal Wash) applied to wheels, paint, and lower panels—color-changing action dissolves embedded iron particles (watch the purple bleed!)

- Gentle Hand Wash — Two-bucket method with pH-balanced Meguiar's Watermelon Hyper Wash to lift dirt and grime without swirls.
- Wheels & Tires Clean — Thorough scrubbing with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Wheel Cleaner; tires left fresh (no dressing in base package).

- Clay Bar Treatment — Mechanical removal of remaining embedded particles for ultra-smooth paint.
