Safe wash or decontamination wash?
The Liquid Decontamination Wash does all of that, then uses an iron fallout remover and a tar and glue remover to lift the contamination a normal wash leaves behind, leaving the paintwork properly clean.
Both are done at your home or workplace. For the inside as well, the Full Deep Clean pairs the decontamination wash with an Interior Deep Clean in one visit.
What affects the price of exterior wash & decontamination?
- What the paint needs: a careful wash is the Exterior Safe Wash (£30); iron fallout, tar and glue bonded to the paint need the Liquid Decontamination Wash (£60).
- A quick test: if the paint still feels rough after a wash, it has contamination bonded to it, and only the decontamination wash lifts that.
- Whether the inside needs doing too: the Full Deep Clean (£180–£250) pairs the decontamination wash with an Interior Deep Clean.
- Add-ons: an Engine Bay Clean is £40, on its own or with any package.

Questions about exterior wash & decontamination.
-
When does a car need a decontamination wash?
When the paint still feels rough after a normal wash. That roughness is iron fallout and tar bonded to the paint, and it builds up fastest on cars that do regular motorway miles, such as on the A1(M). Our Liquid Decontamination Wash (£60) lifts both.
-
What is the difference between a safe wash and a liquid decontamination wash?
The Exterior Safe Wash (£30) is a pre-wash, wheels, safe contact wash, door shuts, tyre shine and windows. The Liquid Decontamination Wash (£60) does all of that, plus an iron fallout remover and a tar and glue remover to leave the paintwork properly clean.
