A Brief Summary On Car Detailing Lexington KY

By Joyce Sanders


The car detailing of any vehicle begins with washing and drying the car. That is the most important step yet most people overlook it because most of the car imperfections are introduced during the regular washing of the car. The car gets the water spots and swirls if it is not done correctly. The cleaning of the vehicle should be done twice a week thus car detailing Lexington KY.

Before the cleaning, a pre-wash is done. The water is decalcified and all the other water impurities removed as they cause the water spots to form on the surface. A tube of shampoo is then applied with a light scrub on the surface. It is necessary to remove any grease on its surface. The vehicle is then dried by blowing air till dry. A dry towel is then used.

The clay bar is then used to remove the imperfections on the surface that remain after the regular washing. While applying the clay, the surface becomes very smooth and glassy. However, it should be noted that most of these imperfections it removes are not usually visible to the naked eye. It is recommended to be done twice a year or before polishing a newly added paint spot.

There are two variations in which the clay comes. It can either be a quick detailer or as a clay lubricant. First, the clay lubricant is used to make the cover with an even texture. It functions to prevent the fall off of the clay bar when it is being applied. A liquid called the optimum rinse off is used at the final stage in this process.

Polishing is the third step in the detailing process. It creates a dramatic effect on the paints appearance. It is done to remove the dull spots in the paints which can be caused by industrial fallout or even oxidation. Washing usually removes the imperfections temporarily but with time the situation worsens. It is recommended to be done once or twice a year during a full detailing.

The buffer equipment is usually preferred in polishing the car as compared to the hand. Hand polishing had its demerits such like the result would be an unevenly polished surface due to varying force. In addition to that, the amount of force applied is a lot hence the whole process is very tiring. Polishing a vehicle twice a year should suffice.

Glazing is the final significant step in the detailing process. It functions to add a layer of gloss to the surface. The layer of the paint also increases. It is done to fill in the minor details though it only does that for a period and so has to be done regularly. Care should be taken to ensure that the waxes and sealants are removed in the process.

The glaze should be done only on a vehicle that has gone through the above process and it has been done properly. For the glaze to be uniform, the black finishing pad is best for use. Since glazing is done once and more than one layer cannot be used, for maximum performance a single coat is enough.

Other important car detailing procedures include coating, layering, waxing, microfiber care and wheel and tire care. The glass should also not be forgotten.
