Basic Car Washing & Car Detailing – Everything You Need To Know
Detailing your car after a car wash can make your car look like a brand-new car. However, car detailing services can be a little expensive. As such, through this article, we will help you detail your car with a few simple steps.
Before washing the car and detailing, you will be required a bucket of water, two microfiber cloths, a wash mitten, car shampoo, clay bar, car polish, car wax, applicator pads, tyre shine, and a hose.
Wash Your Car
Before you start detailing, you must wash your car thoroughly. This is a very crucial step as this step will be laying the foundation for the next steps. Moreover, any improperly cleaned surface could hamper the entire detailing process.
For this, you should initially hose the car and then use the car shampoo and wash mitten to properly clean the car. This way, you could remove most of the dirt from the surface of the car.
Clay Bar
Once the car has been washed, there could be very fine dirt on the car's surface. To remove this fine dirt, the Clay bar is a fantastic tool. It is also worth mentioning that the clay bar should not be rubbed dry and should always be rubbed with soapy water.
Polish
Polish is an abrasive compound and we recommend polishing only on lightly scratched surfaces. To polish, use a microfiber applicator to apply the polish and gently buff the surface in a circular motion. This will remove minor scratches as the polish levels the clearcoat surface.
Car Wax
A good car wax can easily protect your car for more than a few months. Also, the layer of wax coat prevents dirt and grit from adhering to the car's body. It is also worth mentioning that the car wax should be applied panel-by-panel.
For waxing, use the applicator pad to gently rub the wax on the car's body panel and a gentle circular rubbing motion should be followed while doing so. After the wax has dried, use a microfiber cloth to wipe off the excess wax on the body surface.
Thoughts About Car Detailing
Car detailing done by a professional is definitely worth the money. However if done properly, almost similar levels of shine and gloss can be achieved at a fraction of the cost. Moreover, the materials you purchase will last for more than a few detailing cycles.
