Keep Your Vehicle Looking Great with Car Detailing Products

Giving your vehicle a thorough cleaning every season will keep it looking great and help retain its resale or trade-in value. Start with the exterior: a hand car wash is recommended as drive-thrus can damage trim and mouldings. Dish soaps and detergents are too harsh for auto paint, so use a concentrated car wash solution with a car mitt or car sponge. Dry the surface with a chamois, then apply car polish to remove any surface marks and dullness. Rinse off any residue, allow it to dry, and apply a good car wax to protect your paint. A microfiber car cloth can be used for both applications, though an orbital buffer will do the job more quickly. A dedicated windshield cleaner will ensure clear vision, while tire foam and rim cleaner will make your wheels sparkle like new.

Moving on to the inside, a general car upholstery cleaner is great for most fabric and vinyl interiors. If you have leather seats be sure to use a special leather cleaner as other products may strip away the natural oils. Use a foam spray carpet cleaner to lift up dirt, road salt, and other tracked-in messes. All-purpose car wipes can be used to wipe down the dash area and maintain a clean steering wheel. Car cleaning kits are also available which include multiple products for complete car detailing.
