Auto Detailing 101

Good detailing improves presentation without damaging finishes.

Key points

✓ Work from clean to dirty and use separate tools for paint, wheels, glass and interior surfaces.

✓ Wash in shade, remove loose grit first and avoid aggressive household chemicals.

✓ Test products on a small hidden area and use paint correction sparingly because clear coat is finite.

✓ For selling photographs, clean glass, remove clutter and use natural light.
