ive noticed that my car has feather like scratches in the paintwork – what causes these?
spraying a car with water only removes some of the superficial dirt, but small particles of dirt remain adjacent to the surface of the paint. rubbing a sponge or a chamois over your paint actually grinds this dirt into your paint – this is what causes “feather scratches”. most cars have feather scratches when they have been cleaned using traditional water washing methods. an ecowash uses an exclusive polymer compound which encapsulates the dirt and lubricates the panel so that we can remove the dirt with our cleaning cloth without scratching. regular ecowashing not only makes any feather scratches less visible, the protective coating applied during the ecowash process actually reduces the damage that dirt, and even traditional water washing, can do to your paint for up to 6 weeks.
