Simple Detailing Tips on Maintaining Your Car’s Paint

As a car owner, one of the things that you want to maintain on your car is its body paint. You may not have the budget to bring your car to the auto shop but being able to get the materials needed always ready on your garage can help in maintaining car’s paint. Here are some simple detailing tips that you can do to maintain your car’s original paint:

• It starts with the proper washing.

Make sure that you place your car on a shaded area when washing to prevent the car wash soap from leaving baked marks on the surface as it dries under the sun. With the use of a soft sponge, wash the surface of the car and rinse the soaped parts frequently with a hose without a nozzle to remove all debris. This will help in preventing the surface from being scratched. Dry the entire washed surface with a chamois synthetic cloth to prevent leaving any water marks.

• Get a kit for clay bar

With the use of a clay bar, rub on the entire surface after you have sprayed some lubricant on it. After that, spray the detailer on the areas covered, and using a microfiber cloth, wipe all areas clean.

• Polish the car and apply wax to finish the process

Make use of an orbital polisher with dual-action feature, this will help you to prevent any swirl marks from being left on the surface. Use circular motions until you finish the entire surface of the car. After polishing, just apply a thin layer of caranuba wax with a damp cloth and dry it with a cotton cloth. Use the abovementioned ways and see how you can maintain your car’s paint.
