Automotive Detailing Equipment That Leaves A Professional Shine
Now that you've done all the washing and rinsing, let's talk about waxing and buffing. You need a car polisher that will remove the dirt that's too tough for the wash to remove, and one that will gently take off any layer of oxidized, sun-faded paint. Keep in mind, any chrome trim needs to be polished with an exterior car detailing product formulated specifically for chrome. Be careful! The abrasives in polish that help you unlock your vehicle's luster can also shorten the life of your paint if you're too aggressive or polish too often. Done right, a polish is a once-a-year kind of treatment, with monthly washes and a fresh wax a few times a year.
The best products for car detailing often require a bit of Know How and handheld power tools. Polishing and waxing by hand can leave streaks and residue. NAPAonline sells entire polisher kits and polishing systems. Give your arms a break by investing in a lightweight, battery-powered, electric buffering tool or a micro air polisher, ideal for buffing and polishing paint, metal and plastic surfaces. Eliminate oxidation (a dullness of paint commonly seen on older cars) by buffing your surface with a polisher pads, cloths and bonnets made from materials like foam and microfiber. Polishers and buffers with large surface coverage glide over any surface for a smooth look.
Then, protect your automotive paint with a good coating of durable wax that'll defend your paint from bug splats, caked-on mud, bird droppings, moisture buildup and anything else you may encounter on or off the road. You can use traditional paste wax or liquid wax. For wax application, a microfiber cloth will do the job just fine. Just make sure to work in the shade, so the wax doesn't bake itself onto the paint, making for a much harder job. A good wax will last a couple of months. Then you must remove the wax layer to thoroughly wash your vehicle and apply a new coat.
