KEEP YOUR CAR IN PERFECT CONDITION!

Our Top 5 Detailing Tips & Tricks

1. DRY GLASS SURFACES IN TWO DIRECTIONS

When cleaning and drying your car’s windows, you’ll almost certainly come across an annoying streak on either the outside or the inside of the glass. To make the process easier, get in the habit of drying the exterior glass in one direction and the interior in another (horizontal and vertical for instance).

2. SHAMPOO IT EVERY FORTNIGHT

To keep the paintwork looking great, give it a wash every fortnight or so. As well as removing dirt, it will help to reduce unwanted abrasion and prevent the onset of rust. Some people think washing a car this regularly will remove the protective coating from its paintwork, but this isn’t always the case. Using the wrong thing, like washing up liquid, will damage the paint, and washing it regularly but never waxing it will also leave it exposed to damage. You could use a two in one shampoo and wax to help protect as you wash.

3. USE A TOWEL OR CHAMOIS TO DRY THE PAINTWORK

If you let your car air dry after you’ve cleaned it, water marks will develop on the surface — and these are often more difficult to remove than dirt and road dust.

4. RINSE YOUR SPONGE REGULARLY DURING CLEANING

To reduce the risk of swirl marks in the future, make sure you rinse your sponge (or cloth) regularly during washing, preferably in a separate bucket. Dirt particles on the sponge can easily cause damage to the paint, so try to get the sponge or cloth as clean as possible before bringing it back to the paintwork.

5. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TYPE OF CLOTH

Traditionally, sponges have been the go-to tool for washing cars, but no longer. Now it’s all about soft, microfibre cloths, which make it easier to wash, rinse and dry your car’s paintwork without the risk of scratching or scrubbing. Microfibre cloths offer lower friction and greater efficiency for fast, effective washing and rinsing.
