Detail your car and you are sure to achieve one of two things – heads will turn as you drive by or the vehicle will attract admiring looks in the parking lot. Even if you’re not seeking public acclaim, a detailed car transforms your state of mind; and you will enjoy the experience just as you feel confident when well groomed.
Usually full car detailing services consists of a more in-depth cleaning of both the exterior and interior of your car. From washing, waxing, vacuuming, cleaning, scrubbing to treatments for your dash, tires, upholstery and air-conditioning/heating ducts (to remove musty odors). As you would imagine, at times this can be pretty expensive. However, you can forgo the high price for a professional detail and do it yourself. Experts recommend arming yourself with microfiber towels, clay bars, wax, mild polish or pre-wax cleaner, wax applicators or a rotating polisher. Start with the exterior, where a hand wash is highly recommended as opposed to taking your car through the automated car wash; beginning with the top of the car down to the tires and wheel wells. Inside the car, detailing entails blowing out the climate control systems, brushing up the upholstery, removing dust, and ensuring that the air is fresh.
When cleaning dirty tires, use mixed acid solutions or suitable alternatives and degrease the wheels to remove built up dirt and grime. After a hand wash and thorough drying time the car’s body is cleaned and ready to be waxed and polished. If using a rotating polisher to apply your wax, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions to avoid causing any damage to your car’s paint. Finally for the glass areas, clean the windshield and windows with a glass cleaner and soft cloth, or use a damp chamois to avoid leaving streaks. Of course, you can hire a car detail professional, but with a little elbow grease and patience, you can have your car looking like the pros in no time.
