Don’t we all love our cars, especially when we buy them in an immaculate condition? So why not keep them as new as they already are, by spending our time cleaning it in the right way.

Washing your car could be a bit boring, especially when you aren’t getting the effective results. However, if you do the job the right way, your car will end up like a glittering brand new one. Just getting the whole body soapy and rubbing your car randomly won’t give you the desired result. Therefore for a proper clean of your vehicle, you need to take some useful steps towards the right direction.

For your ease and convenience here are the five useful tips for detailing your beloved vehicle effectively.

Select the Right Time and Place
Does it sound irrelevant? It’s certainly not. Choosing the right time of the day will help you get your car cleaned as you like. For instance, in extreme heat or direct sunlight, it will be a bit difficult to clean up the soapy water before it leaves behind the grimy residue.

Therefore doing your job in the right time of the day will give you enough time to properly wipe the water off, and at the same time won’t give you any troubles washing it in the scorching heat.

A Thorough Clean From The Inside
It’s recommended to clean your vehicle from inside before you go ahead giving it an excellent wash from outside. Simply start by collecting all the rubbish you find inside the vehicle, including the seats, storage spaces, and others.

Secondly, clean the doors of your vehicle from inside with warm soapy water (taking care of the electric component). Continue to the clean the carpet mats, seat covers (if they are washable), flooring etc. You can take the assistance of a vacuum cleaner and a stiff brush to clean the floorings from inside.

Don’t forget to clean the dashboard area with a damp cloth before you finally put all the accessories back inside.

Comprehensive Wash from The Outside
Despite you own a used car from Japan in South Africa or a brand new one. The science of washing your vehicle from outside remains quite the same.

Here are a few things you must take care of:

• Using a proper car wash solution.
• Clearing all the dirt dry first.
• Start cleaning from the roof.
• Use slightly warm water if available.
• Use a clean sponge.
• Thoroughly rub the entire exterior with the soapy sponge.
• Change the bucket water when it starts getting dirty.
• Rinse the car with a water shower.
• Dry up the vehicle only with a clean cloth.

*The Tires and Glasses *

Car Waxing
Apply the wax throughout the body of your vehicle, and leave it to get dry before you finally polish it off to give your vehicle a glossy look. Use a microfiber cloth to do this task.

Although you don’t need to wax your vehicle every now and then, it's recommended to do it after every two to three months’ time.
