If you have a luxury car it is important to take good care of it. Not only is it important to take care of things like the brakes, engine, and battery but it is also important to keep the body clean as well. Today we are going to give you tips on how to properly detail your luxury car at home.
When you are detailing your luxury car at home you will probably see unwanted swirl marks after you give it a wash. These are super fine scratches that will appear on the surface of your car’s paint and can be caused by using the wrong kind of cloth or sponge. Inexperienced detailers will tell you that wax will do the trick but do not be fooled. The best way to remove swirl marks is with a quality car polish. That is pro tip #1.
Pro tip #2 is using the right type of cloth. They have them at all auto stores and you can even find them at Costco and Target. We are talking about the microfiber cloths which make it easier to wash, rinse, and dry your car’s paintwork without the risk of scratching or scrubbing. Microfiber cloths offer lower friction and greater efficiency for fast and effective washing and rinsing.
Lastly, let us give you some advice on tire dressing. Tires are like the shoes of your car. The cleaner they are the newer they look. Pro tip #3 is this: always dress your tires last! People often jump right to cleaning their tires because that is what they care about the most. The problem with that is tire dressing often contains silicone and you do not want silicone on the bodywork of your car while you wash and wax it as it is a harmful ingredient. So, save tire dressing for last!
Detailing at home can be fun and should be done regularly to maintain your car’s luxury value. Take these tips into consideration next time you work on your car.
