Car Detailing Tips

1
Everyone likes a clean looking car, especially on
the exterior since that is what most people see.
2
Some people will also pay quite a pretty penny to
have their vehicle professionally detailed.
3
Having a vehicle professionally detailed can be
very expensive.
4
The expense of detailing an automobile increases
if the vehicle in question is an SUV or large
truck.
5
However, some drivers are college students like
myself, and really cant afford to fork over a
couple hundred dollars or more to have our
vehicle professionally detailed.
6
With that said I still want a clean looking
vehicle, and so Im willing to detail my vehicle
myself to save the money.
7
However, I never want to accidentally damage my
vehicle while detailing it.
8
With that said, here are some tips that I follow
to make sure that I detail my car as well as a
professional vehicle detailer would without
having to hand over a bunch of cash.
9
The first tip in detailing your vehicle is to
start with compressed air.
10
Drivers can use compressed air to blow dirt from
the nooks and crannies of their vehicle onto the
carpet which can be easily vacuumed up.
11
After vacuuming up any dirt or debris that may
have been released drivers should take a stiff
scrub brush to their vehicles carpets.
12
This loosens up any remaining dirt that can then
be easily vacuumed up.
13
Another tip that can be accomplished with
compressed air is to blow out any dirt from the
heating and air-conditioning ductwork.
14
This will help in keeping your vehicle smelling
as if it was brand new.
15
One tip for DIY detailing is to use a non-acid
based tire cleaner.
16
The reason for this is that acid-based cleaners
should really only be used by professionals since
the cleaners can cause bare alloy wheels to
oxidize and pit.
17
Another tip for exterior vehicle cleaning is a
hand wash.
18
The reason for this is that it allows the driver
of the vehicle to familiarize themselves with
their vehicle and also inspect the cars surfaces.
19
However, drivers need to avoid using dishwashing
detergent to clean their vehicle.
20
While this does clean the automobile it also
removes any protective coating.
21
Instead, drivers should use a car wash solution
as it will preserve the vehicles appearance.
22
The final tip in car detailing is to pay
attention to the details.
23
The reason for this is that detailing your
vehicle is just like any other job.
24
You only complete the job correctly if you pay
attention to the details.
25
With these tips drivers can be a little more
certain in their ability to detail their car.
