Specialist cleaning
Bonded deposits removed under control.
Controlled removal of tree sap, cement residue and mineral deposits from vehicle paint at AVP Autopflege near Zurich.
Specialist cleaning
Identify the deposit before dissolving it.
Tree sap, honeydew, cement dust and mineral deposits can bond to or etch paint. Scraping them mechanically risks turning contamination into permanent damage.
We identify the material, test the surface and use controlled chemistry to soften and remove the deposit before refining or protecting the affected paint where necessary.
When it fits
Chemistry should do the work that scraping would damage.
Specialist removal is appropriate when bonded residue cannot be washed away safely and the underlying paint needs to be preserved.
Tree sap and honeydew.
Sticky deposits are softened before contact so grit is not dragged across the paint.
Cement, concrete and limescale.
The deposit and its reaction with the paint are assessed before suitable chemistry is used.
Refine and protect the surface.
Etching or haze is addressed separately once the contamination itself has gone.
Process
Identify, dissolve, refine and protect.
The material is confirmed first so the removal process remains controlled from the first test area.
Identify the residue
We distinguish organic, mineral and construction-related contamination.
Dissolve chemically
A suitable product and dwell time soften the deposit without aggressive scraping.
Refine
Any remaining haze or shallow etching is assessed for local polishing.
Protect
The clean surface receives suitable protection where the paint condition allows it.
Honest assessment
Removal cannot reverse every chemical mark.
Long-standing deposits can etch through clear coat or damage trim. Once material has been permanently changed, repair or refinishing may be required.
The earlier the residue is assessed, the better the chance of removing it without lasting damage.
