Automotive DetailingRepair and Maintenance Decisions3MediumOwner$ implied
A detailing enthusiast needs to properly decontaminate car paint before recoating with ceramic coating without causing marring that would require machine polishing.
Clay bars cause micro-marring that forces polishing, while chemical decontaminants alone may not be sufficient for a proper coating application; there is no clear method to decontaminate without risk of marring.
