You may have thought that you could give your car a bit more attention. You’re not the only person who feels this way. Take a look at some of San diego car detailing’s best-kept secret for making your vehicle shine like it just left the showroom.

The first thing to do is stop using the drive-throughs. It’s convenient, yes, but it can leave swirl marks and scratches in your paint. Grab yourself a bucket of high-quality soap and do it by hand. You can think of it like giving your vehicle a spa treatment.

Avoid dish detergent at any cost. This product may appear to be harmless but can remove protective sealants. Opt instead for a pH balanced car shampoo. Your paint will appreciate it.

Next: the two-bucket approach. One bucket of soapy water for your sponge or mitt, and a second bucket for rinsing. This helps to prevent dirt from scratching surfaces as you wash. It’s easy but extremely effective.

Let’s talk drying. Don’t let water spots ruin all of your hardwork! Dry the surface using a microfiber rag or a special drying cloth. If you really want to go to the next level, consider investing in a leafblower that will blow dry all those little nooks where water tends to hide.

We are now ready to polish. You must polish to achieve a finish that looks like a mirrored surface. The dual-action buffing machine can make this job easier and more efficient. Polish the vehicle in small sections using a pad with a little polish.

Waxing your car is not only for surfers. A coat of wax will protect against UV rays as well as bird droppings and other environmental hazards. Apply wax in circular movements with an applicator, and then buff out the haze with a clean microfiber rag.

Don’t neglect the interior. Vacuum under seats, in between cushions and all the tiny crevices. Leather seats can be kept supple by using a conditioner.

Windows can be overlooked, but are crucial to the overall appearance of your car. Use a non-ammonia glass cleaner, and clean both the inside and out of your vehicle with microfiber or newspaper towels.

Tires are also in need of love! To give your tires that “just off the lot” look, scrub them with tire cleaner and then apply tire shine gel. The look is similar to putting dress shoes on after wearing sneakers the whole week.

Final step: wash your vehicle regularly every couple of week to maintain its pristine condition.

Just a little elbow-grease and some know-how will transform any car into something spectacularly dazzling!
