Why are Solvents an Important Addition to your Automotive Vehicles?

Driving More Safely Because of Solvents

Dirt and insects on a windshield can really make driving tough. Thankfully, the solvents in windshield washer fluid help it dissolve these things and wipe them away, improving windshield visibility in all seasons. And in winter, added solvents help windshield wiper fluid from freezing by lowering the temperature at which the mixture will freeze.

What is the role of solvents?

Solvents help washer fluid to remove the dirt, grime and bug goo from your windshield. Have you ever tried to remove the tar or grease residue that seeps out of car doors? It seems nearly impossible. Special tar removers work to cut through those sticky messes in part because they contain solvents that dissolve.

Do you remember when your parents’ or grandparents’ cars wouldn’t start because of water in the gas line? Well, water can still get into the gas line today, but you are less likely to get stranded thanks to additives in modern gasoline. These additives include solvents that help keep the water from separating out of the gasoline.

Solvents help maintain cars in many other ways. Solvents help de-ice frozen door locks, clean carburetors, keep the engine cool, and clean upholstery and carpet.

What is a solvent?

Solvents are chemical substances that can dissolve, suspend or extract other materials usually without chemically changing either the solvents or the other materials. Solvents can be organic, meaning the solvent contains carbon as part of its makeup, or inorganic, meaning the solvent does not contain carbon. For example, “rubbing” alcohol is an organic solvent and water is an inorganic solvent. Hydrocarbon and oxygenated solvents are examples of types of organic solvents that can effectively dissolve many materials.

NANOSKIN: AUTOSCRUB – HANDY TOWEL (7″ X 7″)

• Lasts 2~3 time longer than clay
• For a flawless “show room perfect” shine
• Glides on & off easily for a slick finish
• If inadvertently dropped on shop floor, simply rinse clean

NANOSKIN AUTOSCRUB System works fast and achieves professional results with a new advanced rubber polymer technology which replaces the use of clay bars. It safely and easily removes paint over spray, water spots, fresh tree sap, rail dust and other bonded surface contaminants from the surface of automotive paint, glass, moldings and plastic. Unlike the clay bar, the AUTOSCRUB can be cleaned by simply rinsing off the accumulated contaminates with water. If you should drop the AUTOSCRUB on the ground; just rinse the rubber clean and you’re ready to go again. Unlike clay bars the AUTOSCRUB glides easily for sturdy and controlled handling. Constantly reshaping of clay is a thing of the past.

Helpful Tips:
The AUTOSCRUB has a protective coating to ensure stability within transportation.
To break in the pad, moisten the AUTOSCRUB with desired lubricant.
Moisten a portion of window glass or other glass surface. Rub AUTOSCRUB in circular motion against the glass for 30~60 seconds. You may see a white soapy foam. This is the protective sealant coming off. Don’t use until the polymerized rubber is soft and slightly tacky.
Cold temperatures may stiffen pad. Warm surface before using.

CLAY MAGIC: RED CLAY BAR (MED) 200 GRAM

The clear coat that protects your car is porous and filled with micro-ridges similar to your skin. From a distance your clear coat appears flat but when you look at it through a microscope you see that it has ridges. Contamination can easily become lodged between these areas and reduce the optical clarity of your paint. Thus creating a dull shine. Spray a clay lube on the surface and glide the Clay Magic Medium Grade Clay Bar over these areas and you will pull out contaminates. This is similar to the process of exfoliating your skin. Thus you gain back a clean clear coat that is very smooth to the touch and contaminant free. An additional benefit to prepping your paint with a clay bar is that waxes and sealants adhere to smooth and contaminant free paint. This means that the wax or sealant will protect and shine for longer.

  • Remove embedded surface contamination that does not come off during the washing process
  • Medium grade bars will remove contamination quickly, however it may result in micro-marring
  • Properly preps your paints surface for polishing, using a glaze, sealant and / or wax
  • Helps you get the most out of any step you perform after using the clay bar
  • Follow up the medium grade clay bar with a finishing polish to remove any micro-marring
