Top detailing techniques applied by certified detailers

While personal maintenance of your car is a necessity for its smooth functioning, frequent detailing is also compulsory. Consistent cleaning, washing and prolonged detailing are an immense requirements to restore the faded glaze of your car. To go into the depths of a detailer’s guide, here we bring before you some foolproof detailing processes implemented by well-established and renowned car detailers.

 

Extensive Wash

A good wash using the two-bucket method to avoid scratching your paint ensures the wash out of clingy dust and contaminants. Since sealing and waxing will be carried out later, you can strip off the old wax first using dishwashing soap.

Dry properly

Your car can be dried using a blower. If contact with the paint can be avoided, you can prevent the addition of scratches and swirl marks. If you do not have a blower handy, do the drying with two big microfiber cloths of high absorbing capacity.

Claying

You must put to work a top-quality clean clay bar as you begin with the claying process. Sufficient clay bar lubricant must be made ready to cover various sections of your car, including windows, headlamps, tail lamps, door jambs, and other car components.

Prep and inspect

You should wipe every vehicular part that has just been clayed to remove residues. Post-clay spirits are effective in vanishing off the clay remainders. Some detailers prefer repeating the wash process after the claying.

Next, you must inspect and decide if the paint needs correction or swirl removal. A powerful light can help you detect any imperfections or swirl marks on your car’s surface.

Polish

If you decide on paint protection application, you need to assess the paint type first. Then you can put to operation your compounds and buffing pads.

Paint protection

After the paint correction is complete, it is time to impart a final protective addition to it. You can go for layering carnauba wax or use a polymer paint sealant first. The polymer sealant can be the exclusive protection but professionals often recommend carnauba wax layering on top of the sealant. If you are a daily driver, make sure your car receives paint sealant application. This lasts much longer.

Interior protection

It is immensely important to keep your car interiors cleaned and maintained. Along with a good shampoo and vacuum, a superior quality interior trim protective applicant can make your car inside fresh, clean and hygienic. A premium leather cleaner can be used to thoroughly clean the leather seats.

Glass cleaning

For the window, head lights and other glass surfaces that you clayed earlier, you can now apply a certified, non-abrasive sealer suitable for glass and shiny plastic surfaces cleaning. The right products can offer UV protection, make the surface sleek and keep them clean-shielded from fluctuating weather variations, road grime and bugs.

This massive cleaning along with other upgraded detailing methods is what gets professional detailing efforts first-class results. A rigorous wash, rinse and polish will bring a clean and shiny car in front of you!
