In this conversation, Kris and Michael discuss why pre-washing a vehicle is a critical first step in the repair process. They explain how removing contaminants such as dirt, salt, mud, and road grime helps create a cleaner work environment, improves repair quality, and prevents unwanted materials from entering the shop. The discussion also covers the role of decontamination washing in revealing a vehicle’s true color, leading to more accurate color matching and refinishing results later in the repair process.
