I finally drove my other car today after having sat there for a couple of months.
As I am pulling out of the parking garage I am thinking, how I am going to detail my car.
I have some detailing supplies that can get the job done, but to do a really good job I would need to buy a few more things.
I will help you out and give you a few tips about detailing your car.
As a part of detailing your car, it is wise to use two separate buckets when washing your car.
One bucket should hold the soap while the other bucket will hold clean water.
After you have used your sponge on a single section of the car, use the bucket of clean water to rinse it and then run it dry before you put in back into your soap bucket.
If you use just one bucket, you are simply moving dirt off your car, into your soap bucket and then back onto the surface of your car.
While detailing your car the professionals use a non-acid based tire cleaner.
If you use an acid based cleaner on your wheels, they can oxidize and pit and this type of cleaner can also cause the wheel’s paint or clear coating to be damaged.
Make sure to clean your wheels and tires before you clean your car body to protect the paint on your vehicle.
If you are going to want to polish the surface of the paint.
These polishers help to make your paint shine and your vehicle look newer.
You could buy a orbital polisher and a direct drive polisher, but why not get a blend of those two tools in one with a dual action polisher.
This tool also does not have "forced rotation" which keeps the polisher from moving on its own during use.
When you buy your new car it comes with its own clear coat that it received at the factory in order to protect the paint.
Over time this clear coat protection will wear off, leaving the paint to fend for itself.
This is why you will want to use wax to step in to help protect your paint.
The wax will help to fend off small scratches and absorb stains, but it will wear off in a few months and that is why you need to periodically replace it will a new coat.
Waxing every season is a good way to stay ahead of the game and a way to remind yourself that it is time for another application.
