DETAILS THE NIGHT BEFORE

 



What can you do the night before? How can you do a bit more detailing to get ready? After all tomorrow is the Car Show, The Cruise, or the Cars and Caffeine Event you’ve been waiting for all week. You want your car to look it’s best. 


Here are some tips: 


Let’s not wash the car, it’s already clean. 


You just need to get rid of the garage dust, smudges, and finger prints. Assuming your car has a great ceramic coat or a great wax job, lightly spray with a “quick detail spray” working in sections drying with fluffy microfiber towels. Don’t rub hard you might pick up small hard elements. 


Using microfiber towels and the detail spay wipe down the wheels, rockers and trim. 


Next grab a synthetic clay bar pad (clay bars are old school). This should remove any contaminants left in the paint. 


Then spray lightly with a ceramic sealant and buff out. I spray my wheels with the ceramic sealant just to give them that extra bling!


Don’t forget the interior. Vacuum, dust, wipe down with vinyl dressing, and pick up any loose items. 


An hour well spent, you are ready!

* The “Shine of the Show” is based on two factors: 
1. Shine: how well it is detailed. 
2. How photogenic is the car.

Ceramic vs Wax what’s your opinion?
