Car Detailing Secrets
2
So you want to detail your own car or truck, do
you really know what you are getting yourself
into with the car detailing process?
3
Are you really ready to wax, wash, polish, clean
the wheels and tires, take care of your
convertible top and more?
4
The truth is that with the best products
available to you, today it is easier to do
yourself than ever before.
5
Here are some things for you to keep in mind to
keep your car or truck looking sharp.
6
As part of car detailing, is is wise to use two
separate buckets when washing your car.
7
One bucket will hold your cleaning solution and
the other bucket will hold your clean water.
8
After you have used your cleaning mitt on a
section of your car, use the bucket of clean
water to rinse it and then run it dry before you
put in back into your cleaning solution bucket.
9
If you use just one bucket, you are simply
moving dirt off your car, into your cleaning
solution bucket and then back onto the surface of
your car.
10
Car detailing pros uses non-acid based tire
cleaners.
11
If you use an acid based cleaner on your wheels,
they can oxidize and pit and this type of cleaner
can also cause wheels painted with clear or color
coatings to be damaged.
12
Use a degreaser on your wheels and be sure to
clean your wheels and tires before you clean your
car body to protect the paint on your vehicle.
13
What Car Detailing Polisher To Choose
14
Consider using a dual action polisher.
15
Help to make your paint shine and your vehicle
look newer, you are going to want to polish the
surface of the paint.
16
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.
17
This tool also does not have "forced rotation"
which keeps the polisher from moving on its own
during use.
18
The use of wax will help to protect your paint.
19
When you buy your new car it comes with it own
car detailing, specifically a clear coat that it
received at the factory in order to protect the
paint.
20
Over time this clear coat protection will wear
off, leaving the paint to fend for itself.
21
This is why you will want to use wax to step in
to help protect your paint.
22
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.
23
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.
24
If you have not given your new car or truck a
name, spending time with it detailing it will
probably give you the inspiration to give it a
moniker.
25
This time spent on car detailing will also help
to make the investment that you made in "Betsy or
Ralph" last longer and go further.
