Contamination can hide coating behavior
Minerals, traffic film and bonded contamination can mask hydrophobic performance. Adding more product before cleaning the surface can trap the real problem.
Begin with a behavior test
A maintenance service should first observe rinsing, sheeting and beading. From there, the wash chemistry and any targeted decontamination can be selected.
Use a topper with a reason
A compatible booster can support slickness and water behavior, but it should be applied only after the coating is clean and assessed.
Document the result
A clear maintenance record helps distinguish contamination, maintenance needs and potential coating concerns over time.
