Run your fingertips over a freshly washed car in a thin plastic bag.
Run your fingertips over a freshly washed car in a thin plastic bag. If the paint feels gritty, it is carrying bonded contamination that soap cannot touch. Clay bar treatment removes that layer: rail dust, industrial fallout, tree sap specks and road tar. Cars in Scarborough pick this up from highways, construction sites and parking lots all year.
We work in sequence. After a wash, an iron remover is sprayed on and turns purple as it dissolves metal particles from brakes and rails. Then a clay bar or clay mitt glides over the lubricated paint and lifts whatever is still stuck. We rinse, wipe dry and check by touch until the surface feels like glass.
Clay does not polish or hide defects. It is a cleaning step that should come before any polish, wax, sealant or ceramic coating, because protection bonds better to bare, clean paint and lasts longer on a smooth surface. Owners near Birch Cliff who park beside roads or building sites often find overspray, fallout and tiny specks they never knew were there until the paint felt smooth afterward.
A clay treatment usually takes one to two hours on top of a wash. Most daily drivers benefit from it once or twice a year, and new cars often need it before coating because transport and rail shipping leave residue behind. Call or text us in Scarborough and we will check your paint and tell you whether it is needed.

Scarborough has plenty of detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, plus townhouse complexes and a growing number of condo and apartment towers around Scarborough Town Centre and along Kennedy and Eglinton, so we are comfortable setting up in a driveway, a visitor lot or an underground garage.
Winter salt and slush on the 401, Kingston Road and Lawrence Avenue East leave heavy residue on lower panels and in carpets. Cars parked near the lake along the Bluffs deal with damp air and spring pollen from the many mature trees.
A drive from Scarborough to a downtown shop can mean an hour or more each way on the 401 or DVP. Mobile detailing saves that trip and works well with the many driveways in the area.
We regularly work in Birch Cliff, Woburn and Dean Park, and every other part of Scarborough.
