How to Maintain Your Car's Shine Between Professional Details
Professional detailing makes your car look incredible, but proper maintenance between appointments keeps it looking that way longer. Follow these simple tips to extend your detail.
Weekly Washing Do's and Don'ts
DO
- Use two buckets: one for soap, one for rinsing
- Wash from top to bottom
- Use microfiber wash mitts and towels
- Dry with a proper drying towel or blower
DON'T
- Wash in direct sunlight or hot paint
- Use dish soap or household cleaners
- Let your car air dry (causes water spots)
- Use automated car washes with brushes
Quick Detailer Spray
Between washes, use a quality quick detailer spray to remove light dust, fingerprints, and water spots. Simply spray on a clean microfiber towel, wipe gently, and buff to shine. This takes 5 minutes and keeps your car looking freshly detailed.
Interior Maintenance
- Vacuum weekly to prevent dirt from grinding into carpets
- Wipe down dashboard and console with microfiber cloth
- Use floor mats to protect carpets
- Clean spills immediately before they stain
- Keep a small trash bag in your car
Pro Tip
Park in the shade whenever possible. UV rays fade paint, crack dashboards, and deteriorate interior materials faster than anything else. A simple habit that preserves your detail for months longer.
