To make your car’s body shine, follow these steps:
1. Car Wash
- Use a good quality car wash soap: Start by washing thoroughly with a pH balanced car wash soap. Avoid using dish soap as it can remove wax and damage the paint.
- Two Bucket Method: Use one bucket for the soapy water and another bucket for rinsing the wash mitt to minimize dirt and scratches.
- MICROFIBER GLOVE: Use a microfiber cleaning mitt to gently clean surfaces.
2. Dry the car
- Microfiber Towel: After cleaning, dry your car with a clean, soft microfiber towel to prevent water spots.
3. Clay Bar Treatment
- CONTAMINANT REMOVAL: Use a clay bar to remove embedded contaminants from the paint surface. This step helps create a smooth surface for polishing and waxing.
- Glubricate: Use clay bar lubricant or quick refiner to help the clay slide over the surface.
4. Polish Paint
- USE POLISH: If the paint has scratches or swirl marks, use a dual-action polisher or apply polish by hand using a foam applicator pad.
- Polish: Polish in small sections until desired shine is achieved.
5. Apply wax or sealant
- Choose a Quality Wax or Sealer: Use a quality automotive wax or paint sealant to protect your paint and enhance its shine.
- APPLY: Use an applicator pad to apply the wax in a thin, even layer. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying time.
- BOLISHING: Once the wax is dry, buff it with a clean microfiber towel to reveal a smooth surface.
6. Final Touches
- Detailing Spray: For extra shine, you can use a detailing spray or quick detailer after waxing. This enhances shine and provides extra protection.
- Tire Gloss: Don’t forget to apply tire gloss to make your tires look smooth and match the shine of your car.
7. Regular Maintenance
- Wash often: Wash your car regularly to maintain its shine and protect the paint.
- Reapply Wax: Depending on the product used, reapply wax or sealant every few months to keep the shine intact.
By following these steps, you can get a beautiful, shiny finish on your car body that will make it stand out.
