Detailing Your New Truck

Detailing your new truck will protect your investment and show new potential buyers, just how well you take care of your automobile.

 
Here are some of the secrets that professional detailers use and the steps that will enable you to have an extra edge in having the best looking truck around.
Your car’s finish entails a major portion of the surface of your vehicle.  With some effort, a deep shine and glossy finish is achievable on most trucks, new or used. A soft cloth and a light smoothing polish will help remove moderate road buildup and paint pollutants. Some professional auto detailers prefer to use clay for lighter jobs because it is non-abrasive and cleans better than polishes. More seriously damaged finishes may require that you use buffing agents and clean with a wheal.

 
Ultra-clean glass will give your truck that added sparkle of a professionally detailed vehicle.  The glass windows on your vehicle are usually cleaned with a soapy wash when the rest of the car is washed. Once dried, a soft cloth and glass cleaner should be used on the inside and outside of the windows. Many detailers use ammonia or vinegar and water mixtures to clean auto glass others feel that simple distilled water does the trick.  Microfiber cloths used on glass work wonders.

 
The areas like vinyl and plastic on your Truck’s interior should be sprayed with a diluted cleaner (such as simply green) and a microfiber cloth. These surfaces need to dry completely before going over them once more with a dry dust-free cloth. Cotton swabs are great for getting into crevices and other hard to reach areas. Breathable surfaces like cloth seats and carpeting should be vacuumed then spot cleaned with a commercial brand of upholstery cleaning spray.

 
Wheels are normally the dirtiest part of a vehicle. They are continually exposed to brake-dust and road grime that can build up over time and be difficult to remove. Commercial spray cleaners are available that break up this dirt and make cleaning the wheels easier. The wheels should be washed separately from the rest of the car, rinsing all your cleaning apparatus thoroughly before using the same sponge or cloth on other parts of the car which could leave scratches.
