What's the best way to deal with surface scratches?

A surface scratch is determined by feeling no obstruction when passing a fingernail over the scratch, if an obstruction is noticed, it will be deeper than a surface scratch. Our Pure Compound removes surface scratches with ease whilst restoring faded paintwork, whilst Iris is a 3 in 1 treatment designed to restore lacklustre paintwork in one simple application removing surface oxidation, blemishes and minor scratches.

 

Is a paint sealant better than car wax?

Both really have the same purpose, protection and giving a shiny glossy look. However, sealants are more durable and last longer. So, it’s up to preference. However, some waxes contain a polish which, besides protecting and giving the surface a nice deep shine, also have a cleaning effect.

 

What’s the difference between washing and detailing?

Washing makes the car look clean to your eyes. However, the trick is to feel the surface area with your fingertips or the back of your nail. If the surface is silky smooth, then it’s detailed from all contaminants that aren’t necessarily visible.

 

How often should I use a Clay Bar Kit?

This generally depends on where your car has been and how the environment and climate around your car is. If you feel any roughness from any (invisible) contaminants on the paintwork after you’ve washed the car, then this is the kind of moment when you would want to clay bar your car. Always make sure that the surface area that you want to clay is properly lubricated with the clay bar lubricant. If your car is being well cared for and the circumstances are favourable, then you would probably only need to use your clay bar about twice a year. Again, this depends on the environmental factors and you can always “feel” for yourself.

Do I need to clay bar if my car is brand new?

Yes. The reason is because of the method the car has been transported to your car dealer. During transit, the car could have picked up various forms of contaminants (such as metal particles from rails) that may have embedded onto the paintwork due to for example heat or residue from the protective film. The best thing to then do is go through all the pre-cleaning stages, then use the clay bar with the lubricant to polish, wax and seal the car for the best look and protection.

Does water stain the leather surface?

It depends on how you use it. If you leave water droplets on the leather surface, it could potentially stain the leather. However, using a damp cloth to remove excess product is fine. *NOTE: It is important to ensure that the leather surface is fully dried after it becomes wet to prevent discolouration.

What should I do if a compound leaves swirl marks?

Some more abrasive compounds can potentially leave swirl marks. Our formula is however a finer finishing compound ideal for light scratches and swirl marks. If you’ve used our Pure Compound, we then suggest using our Wax of the Gods – Atlas.

Why don’t you have any wheel treatment in your first stage?

The first stage is to pre-wash and remove all the surface grub that is on the surface of the entire car, thus including your wheels. We suggest that if you first go through our recommended stages thoroughly, the muck that is on the wheels should be washed and thus should not spray off any muck when working on the wheels.

Where can the consumer purchase Car Gods products?

So in short, it is not acidic and will therefore not cause any such acidic reactions to your car.

What’s the best way to maintain the working properties of the microfibre accessories?

The folklore from which Car Gods products are developed is our comprehensively equipped and expertly staffed Technical Centre, where our Science Gods strive to constantly improve formulations, as well as finding new ways to advance detailing without compromise. All Car Gods products are developed and manufactured in the UK in our production facility, and feature formulas unique to the product range.

Quality Formulations:
Our products don’t contain low-cost acids in order to save costs and we avoid using solvents to strip contaminants. Instead, we use technologically advanced formulations to ensure that our products work together with today’s technology that is applied to the car surfaces. This ethos ensures that the product performs as the consumer expects, without negotiation and without harming the vehicle. Paint technology has changed over the years, with water based technology, metallic composite acrylics and even Xirallic coatings giving that metal flake effect - our products have been tested and developed with these finishes in mind.

Product Development:
Our Technical staff don't hold back when it comes to developing a new product - they pay attention to every single detail, every formulation will have been thought through from technicality and convenience to fragrance and sight. Each new formulation will be tested quantifiably for performance, effectiveness and durability and bench-marked against our own high standards as well as against leading competitors.

State of the art:
Performance analysis is carried out in our Technical Centre using state of the art equipment, as well as practical hands-on testing - either using individual panels, or hands on with our own vehicles in our fully equipped valeting bay. All our formulations have been carefully thought through and tested on all sorts of materials to see what type of reactions would take place.

 

The devil’s in the detail:
It's not just the chemical formulations we pay great attention to, all Car Gods trigger bottle products all use an ergonomic pre-compressed trigger system which provides: powerful drip-free dispensing; consistent droplet size; no leakage; always primed. Also keeps up the same performance level with more viscous products.

 

Your car deserves supreme treatment and finish, and our range of ultimate performance, professional quality detailing products will deliver nothing less than godly perfection.
