1. A method for cleaning, preparing, and treating a substrate comprising:
cleaning the substrate and preparing the substrate; and
treating the substrate, wherein treating the substrate further comprises;
treating the substrate with a chemical alkaline treatment by applying an alkaline chemical to a substrate surface that removes hydrocarbon molecules on the substrate surface;
treating the substrate with a chemical neutralizer treatment by applying a neutralizer chemical to the substrate surface that acts to emulsify hydrocarbons left behind on the substrate surface after treating the substrate with the chemical alkaline treatment;
applying an oxide to the substrate surface;
measuring surface tension changes of the substrate after applying the oxide to the substrate surface;
applying an oxidizer to the substrate surface;
rinsing and drying the substrate surface; and
applying at least one surface property modifier to the substrate.
