Did You Know?

Detailing your vehicle will help retain value of your vehicle.

VACUUM your car's interior before washing it to prevent blowing dirt and debris on your freshly washed and dried car. Use the vacuum's:

  • Crevice tool to get into those hard-to-reach places
  • Carpet brush to loosen dirt and lift matted carpet-pile from your car's carpet and mats
  • Softer round brush on the seats

To CLEAN THE INTERIOR of your car, we recommend Tuff Stuff spray cleaner for the dash and other vinyl areas. If you cannot locate it, then use mild soap and water. Use your preferred window cleaner to clean the windows and glass surfaces.DON'T use window cleaner on plastic windows! Use a plastic cleaner suited for plastics.

Now it's time to WASH your car. Note that your clothing plays a big part when leaning over your vehicle: riveted jeans, belt buckles, key chains or any other metal could easily scratch or damage your paint! To wash your vehicle:

1.
Move your car to a shaded area, and make sure it is cool. Hot surfaces cause water to dry too quickly and increases the chance of water spotting.
2.
Starting from the top, rinse off loose surface dirt with water before starting. This minimizes abrasion from small particles.
3.
Start washing the vehicle while it is still wet: start from the top and work down. We recommend that you use a soft sponge or cloth, or a soft mitt.
4.
Using a scrub brush, wash and rinse inside of your wheel wells. This will help fight corrosion from road salt and high humidity.
5.
Use a separate sponge or cloth for glass windows to prevent scratching or transferring particles to the window.
6.
Dry your vehicle. We recommend a synthetic chamois cloth. It absorbs better, scratches the least, is easy to wring out and presents less drag than a natural chamois. If you don't have a synthetic chamois, you can use a pre-softened, 100% cotton towel.
