Let’s dive in and get your car ready to shine this summer!
Start with a Thorough Wash
The first step in pre-summer car detailing is giving your vehicle a thorough wash to remove dirt, grime, and debris. Use a high-quality car wash soap and a soft microfiber wash mitt to gently clean the exterior surfaces, including the body, windows, wheels, and tires. Pay special attention to areas prone to buildup, such as the lower panels and wheel wells. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to ensure all soap residue is removed. Or, of course, have Express Auto/RV Care Center do this for you!
Don’t Forget the Interior
While it’s essential to focus on the exterior, don’t neglect the interior of your vehicle. Vacuum the carpets, floor mats, and upholstery to remove dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Wipe down hard surfaces such as the dashboard, center console, and door panels with a mild interior cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Don’t forget to clean the windows and mirrors inside and out for maximum visibility.

Polish and Protect
Once your vehicle is clean inside and out, it’s time to give it some extra shine and protection. Apply a coat of wax to the exterior paint to enhance its luster and provide a protective barrier against UV rays, road salt, and environmental contaminants. Consider using a synthetic polymer sealant for longer-lasting protection and durability. For added shine, polish the chrome trim and apply a tire dressing to rejuvenate the appearance of your tires.

Address Minor Imperfections
As you inspect your vehicle during the detailing process, take note of any minor imperfections such as scratches, swirl marks, or paint chips. Consider using a scratch remover or touch-up paint to repair these blemishes and restore your vehicle’s appearance. For deeper scratches or paint damage, consult a professional auto body shop for repair options.
Protect Your Interior Surfaces
To keep your interior looking its best, consider applying a fabric or leather protectant to upholstery and trim surfaces. These products help repel liquid spills, prevent fading and cracking, and make cleaning up messes easier.

Further, use sun shades or window tinting to protect your interior from harmful UV rays and reduce heat buildup during hot summer days.

In addition to detailing, regular maintenance is essential for keeping your vehicle in top condition year-round. Schedule routine oil changes, fluid checks, and tire rotations to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
