Auto Detailing And The Key Vehicle Parts To Focus On

By Michelle Robinson


Pro detailers are well aware that vehicle detailing is both a work of art and science. It's a science since it brings about some concrete elements such as cleaning chemicals, equipment, industrial standards and knowledge on different vehicle surfaces. This activity is also an aspect of art since it puts the elements together into procedures that work for almost every scenario. With just a little auto detailing, you can transform your ride from dull to shine.

We always witness a lot of vehicles traveling to car shows, auctions, cruise nights and national conventions. The only sure way to be at the helm of the pack among all other nice vehicles out there is to focus on detailing. A meticulously-planned detail task can turn your vehicle into a glamorous standout when you need to win trophies or squeeze the last few bucks out of a prospective bidder at an auction. Here are important car areas you should focus on when doing your vehicle cleaning.

The car interior is like a living room while you are driving so it is an area you should focus on. When cleaning your ride's mats, carpets, and other upholstery, you should always start with the driver's seat so that it can dry in time just in case you would like to go for a test run.

Once you're done with the interior, move to the car windows. This is a procedure you must adhere to since it prevents the windows from getting soiled as you're cleaning the dirty door panels and headliners. Interior dressing and conditioning should be done after cleaning the windows to prevent tracking dressing onto your car windows as you are still working on them.

Cleaning the interior is not complete if rinsing of the mats, carpets and upholstery is not yet done. Rinsing helps to remove any more unused residues because if left on car interior surfaces, it attracts more dirt. Car interior surfaces and parts remain cleaner for longer if rinsed.

Once you have exhausted the car interior, you should focus on the engine bay. Detailers recommend that you clean the engine bay before washing the car so that any dirt and grease that spills on the vehicle while cleaning the engine bay will be washed off during the washing step.

Drape wet towels all over the front fenders to prevent the paint from streaking and spotting which can occur when using strong degreasers and cleaners. This helps to protect against scratching when you lean on the fenders to work on the engine bay. For vehicles with sophisticated computer and electronic modules in the engine bay, it is important to keep water out of reach to minimize the possibility of damaging the sensitive components.

Car exterior should not be ignored when doing car cleaning and refurbishing. In this case, the best idea is to begin with the lower sections which include the wheels and kick panels before moving to other areas.

For dark colored cars, a light liquid wax spray onto the dripping car surface is vital. After spraying, the liquid wax should then be dried, and a light buffing is done on the vehicle surface. Not only does it eliminate water spots but also gives the car paint a depth thus leaving it with a marvelous shine.
