How is car exterior detailing done?

Car exterior detailing is a meticulous process aimed at cleaning, restoring, and protecting the vehicle's exterior surfaces.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how it is typically done:

  1. Preparation: Start by prepping the car. This includes removing any loose dirt and debris from the surface. A thorough rinse is often recommended to eliminate larger particles that could scratch the paint during the detailing process.

  2. Washing: Use a high-quality car wash soap and a microfiber wash mitt to wash the car. It's important to wash the car in sections to avoid letting the soap dry on the surface. Rinse thoroughly after washing.

  3. Wheels and Tires: Clean the wheels and tires separately using a dedicated wheel cleaner and brushes. This step is crucial as brake dust and grime can be tough to remove.

  4. Paint Decontamination: After washing, use a clay bar to remove embedded contaminants from the paint surface. This step helps to smooth out the paint and prepare it for polishing.

  5. Polishing: If there are swirl marks or scratches, use a polish or compound to restore the paint's clarity. This can be done by hand or with a dual-action polisher for better results.

  6. Waxing or Sealing: Apply a wax or sealant to protect the paint. This step enhances the shine and provides a barrier against environmental contaminants.

  7. Finishing Touches: Clean the windows, trim, and any plastic parts. You can also apply a tire dressing to give the tires a clean, shiny look.

  8. Final Inspection: Once all steps are completed, do a final inspection to ensure everything is clean and polished to your satisfaction.
