What counts as fallout
The same principle applies to most types of fallout: acid rain, industrial fallout and chemical fallout. Each one affects vehicles differently, which is why these vehicles need to be sighted and evaluated rather than quoted blind.
- Iron filings and rail dust
- Soot and carbon
- Acid rain etching
- Chemical and industrial fallout
Why it gets worse
Metallic fallout keeps oxidising once it is embedded. What starts as a rough feel across the duco becomes a rust-coloured speckle, and then a permanent etch into the clear coat. Early removal is the difference between decontamination and a respray.

Photos tell us the fallout type and how hard it has bonded. That is usually enough to quote. Heavy or full-coverage jobs get sighted first.
