While routine maintenance and services are required to keep your car running smoothly, sometimes a little more elbow grease is needed to get your vehicle looking its best. Our Birmingham service center has a team of detailing experts to help but if you’re looking for a DIY solution, take a look at our tips below to learn how to detail your car yourself!
The simplest way to give your car a makeover is by washing it. To do so, gather quality tools and a cleaning product designed specifically for your car and start at the top. Work your way down, cleaning one panel at a time and rinsing as you go to avoid dried soap residue. Avoid using dishwashing liquid or old rags as this may scratch your car and strip existing wax off your ride.
As your main point of contact with the road, your tires are bound to kick up dirt and debris along your travels. Keep them and your rims looking shiny and new by thoroughly rinsing them down while cool and scrubbing your tires and rims with a quality cleaner. Work it well into every nook and cranny before hosing them down to blast away leftover grime.
Hoping to truly lock-in that shiny new car look? A quality wax may be just the ticket! After your vehicle has completely dried, work in small sections to wax down your entire ride and use a clean terry cloth to buff away excess product. You’d be surprised how a thorough polish can transform your vehicle.
