Buff up your vehicle with a car detailing service in Melbourne

Car detailing may sound a bit over the top, but is proving more and more popular among vehicle enthusiasts. Private and personalized car detailing in Melbourne is a great way to distinguish your vehicle on the roads, making you and your car the envy of all. One piece of advice for detailing your car is to treat your vehicle like you would treat your face. Would you cleanse your skin with harsh and unstable chemicals? If not then why would you want to cover your car in harmful substances if you can avoid it? Below are some useful tips for keeping your car clean between services.
Interior cleaning:

• When cleaning carpets and upholstery, start with the driver's area first. It is then more likely that this area will be dry when you’d like to drive it again. When cleaning windows, first lower the windows slightly and clean the top edge of the windowpane. Then fully close and clean the remainder of the window. Second, clean windows after cleaning everything else, thus preventing soiling your windows while doing the dirtier work. And third, do your interior dressing and conditioning after window cleaning so as to avoid tracking dressing onto the windows while wiping them.
• Be careful not to get any interior cleaner on the clear plastic panels that cover the instruments because they can spot or fog the plastic.
• In heavy use carpet areas, it is often easier to remove the seat completely from the vehicle, allowing excellent access to the soiled area for more thorough cleaning.
• Always rinse mats, carpeting, and upholstery after cleaning them to remove any cleaner residue. This residue will simply attract more dirt if left in the material. That is, the material will stay cleaner longer if rinsed.

Exterior Cleaning:

• Wash the lower areas of the car first, for instance start with the wheels, wheel wells and kick panels
• There are three basic steps to achieve the perfect shine.
• Lightly spray liquid wax directly onto the dripping wet painted surfaces after the final rinse.
• Then dry as normal with a chamois.
• Finish by lightly buffing the painted surfaces with a microfiber towel. This will remove any remaining water spots, add some depth to the paint, and leave a great shine.
• Dress the trim (all rubber, plastic, or vinyl pieces that are adjacent to painted surfaces) and tires before waxing or sealing. This has two benefits. o It is much less likely that these surfaces will absorb the wax product, thus greatly reducing the amount of final wax removal in these areas o It takes much less time to apply the dressing to these areas because there is less worry about getting dressing on the paint
• In addition to the trim, don't forget to dress the wheel wells by spraying inexpensive or diluted dressing into them. Most wheel wells are lined with black plastic panels or black anti-rust coatings. Both of these materials respond well to even the most inexpensive dressings.
• It is important that your car is both regularly polished and has a clear coat finish. There are many ways to distinguish between clear coat and conventional paint systems. If the car’s colour rubs off onto a polishing cloth, then it is most likely a conventional paint. A clear coat finish is important to your car because it makes the colour appear deeper, wetter and protects your vehicle from sun exposure.
