To get the most out of your at-home detailing process, here are some professional tips that Cole-Krum Chevrolet, LLC can share with you.
- To reduce swirl marks when washing, rinse out your sponge periodically. If you can, do this in a separate bucket. This will also prevent scratches from dirt particles on your sponge.
- Before you apply any kind of polish or wax to your paint, address the trim first. Wax can actually stain the plastic on your vehicle, but the protectant you use on the trim will prevent this from occurring.
- Keep up with regular washes during the winter to remove road salt that can cause your vehicle to prematurely rust.
- Don't use a buffer to remove the wax you've applied. Rather, use a buffer to even apply a wax product. You should wipe it off by hand with a clean cloth to prevent swirls and scratches.
