Why scrubbing harder doesn’t fix buildup
Buildup is often chemistry-class mismatch (mineral vs oil vs biofilm). Scrubbing harder converts a cleaning problem into a damage problem.

Why it fails
Mineral bonds need compatible removal chemistry.
Soft coatings scratch before soil fully releases.
What actually works
Identify buildup type, use dwell-and-lift where appropriate, protect gloss finishes.
Not sure what to use? Recommendations are based on how the problem actually works.
