During the summer, nothing beats a super clean and waxed car. If you're like me, it can be difficult to reproduce the same brilliance you would expect from a professional car detailer on your own. Sometimes I think it is almost impossible. After many botched attempts wax and countless hours scouring the Internet for answers, I came up with a compilation of best practices to achieve this brilliant shimmer and shine that we all learned to expect professionals.
First and foremost, make sure your vehicle is in a covered area or in the shade and out of direct sunlight. Garages or carports work best. Sunlight and heat cause water to evaporate too quickly during washing can lead to spot. When you try to wax your vehicle, the sun will dry the wax and ruin your brilliance. It can also damage the finish of your car.
Then you need to wash your car until it's extremely clean. When I say clean, I mean clean. You're going to get out the bucket and hose and scrub your car by hand. You must use a reputable car shampoo. These can be found at any auto parts store or car maintenance. A natural sea sponge is the best option for cleaning the car. Start by rinsing about 1/3 of your car. Use sea sponge for washing the rinsed area from top to bottom. Frequently wring out the sponge and soak in the bucket of soapy water. When finished, rinse the soap out of the car and move to the next section. the car wash in sections helps prevent stains. Use a terry cloth or chamois to dry the vehicle. Do not allow to air dry!
Now that your car is ready for wax, you must decide what kind of brightness you want. If you are looking to protect the natural shine of your car, a thin layer of a synthetic wax will do. For the brilliance of exposure, you will need to apply a thin layer of synthetic wax with another carnauba wax layer on top of it.
Once you have made your decision, you are ready to wax. Lightly coat the painted areas of the vehicle with a very thin layer of wax using a terry cloth or a clean towel. Make sure to avoid any plastic or cut areas of the car, the wax can not be detached from these materials. Test on a small area if you are not sure. After the wax is applied, polish with a new terry cloth, extremely clean. If you notice streaks, you can remove them with distilled water. Repeat this process until you are satisfied with your brilliance.
