Detailing your car can make it look squeaky clean. It also brings out that shine and restores the once dull paint. So let's get started, just follow the steps below to continue.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Park your car in a cool shady place. When you wash your car and it is exposed to sunlight, it will leave water spots.

  2. Step 2

    Be sure to have a good cotton towel. Start by washing the surface of your car. Then you want to dry it.

  3. Step 3

    Check the surface of the car. If it has any surface defects like tree sap, then use a cleaner that has a mild abrasive.

  4. Step 4

    Now that all the grease and dirt are washed away from the car's surface, you want to polish it. Apply polish by hand using a sponge and moving in a circular motion.

  5. Step 5

    Use a cotton cloth to remove the residue after you applied the polish. Do not allow the polish to dry completely.

  6. Step 6

    Now its time to wax the surface of your car. Apply wax to your car using an applicator. Use a circular motion when doing this. Do one section at a time. Once the wax begins to dry, remove it with a cotton cloth. Remove the residue with one side and use the other side to remove extra residue. That's it, you are done.
