Step 3: Detailing for Maximum Appeal
Detailing goes beyond basic cleaning and involves paying attention to the finer details to make your car look its best. Polish the paint to remove scratches and swirl marks. Use a clay bar to remove contaminants from the paint surface. Wax the car to protect the paint and give it a glossy shine. Clean and polish the wheels and tires. Apply tire shine to make the tires look new. Clean and condition the leather seats. Apply a protectant to the dashboard and door panels. Clean and polish the chrome trim. Detail the engine compartment. A clean and detailed engine compartment shows that you have taken good care of your car.
