Step 1: Wash your car
- You’ll need a bucket, car wash solution, microfiber towel (or mitt), soft-bristled brush, and a water hose
- Washing a car on a regular basis helps keep it free of dirt, debris, and gritty residue that can accumulate over time
- tart washing your car from the roof of the vehicle and work your way down to the bottom of the vehicle
- Use a soft-bristled brush, in small, circular motions, to remove more stubborn stains and grease. Use a microfiber cloth to clean less dirty areas
Step 2: Dry your vehicle
- Rinse your car as you go to prevent the soap and water from drying on your car. The ideal car-washing method is to soap up and wash an area, followed by a quick rinse, before moving on.
- After drying your car to remove the majority of the moisture, allow it to air dry completely before proceeding to the detailing phase
Part 3: Detail your car
- You’ll need a clay bar, compound, glaze, microfiber towels, and polish
- Use a microfiber towel or mitt when working with any detailing compound, glaze, or polish. On the surface of your vehicle, you can still find dirt, even after washing it! A microfiber towel should help it lift dirt away from the surface
- Don’t forget to clean and shine your tires, which are one of the most overlooked areas of a vehicle.
Part 4: Wax your vehicle:
- You’ll need a car buffer, car wax, polisher, microfiber towels. Paint conditioner
- Apply wax using a microfiber towel or a clean buffing pad using the car buffer.
- Proceed with applying the wax a section at a time, allowing the wax to set before removal.
- Take a microfiber cloth and use circular motions with the buffer to rub in the wax. Repeat this process until you have waxed the entire surface of the vehicle.
