You may be in the market for some protection for your car but don’t necessarily want to spend the money to have a ceramic coating professionally installed or even get your car waxed professionally. If so, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog we will go over the simple steps to waxing your car yourself so that you can detail and protect your car with confidence!
- Strip wash. The first thing you will want to do is prep the surfaces by using an automotive specific strip wash. This will remove any old waxes or residue on the surface to prepare a clean surface that the wax can bond to.
- Decontamination. In this stage you will decontaminate your paint and glass by clay barring and chemically removing the contaminants on your vehicle. This step is necessary in order to remove any contaminants that the wash didn’t remove.
- Waxing. Finally in order to protect the freshly cleaned surfaces you can apply a fresh coat of wax. Most products only require one coat of wax and generally speaking anything more than that is overkill. However we recommend following the instructions to the specific product you are using.
Once you have followed these three simple steps to washing and waxing your car, you should have a clean and protected car for months to come! And the best part is that you did it yourself so when it comes time to wax your car again you can do so with confidence.
