WASH MITTS AND PLIABLE LEATHER
First hand, it is better to clean the wheels to prevent slop and all excrements from seeping on the car’s body parts. You should Rinse down the wheels, but then, wax them with the paint that’s left. The car can be sprayed all over with a lambswool wash mitt. The bodywork can be dried with chamois, terrycloth or microfiber towels. Toss the cheap stuff--they're too rough.
POLISHING CLOTHS
Whenever putting on wax or polish, use a specific cloth that polishes. Polishing cloths are so very soft they won’t scratch the paint. If choosing a microfiber cloth, check that it’s designed to polish car finish. This will illuminate the appearance in all exterior parts for a riveting visual impact on the road, such as car bumpers.
POLISH AND GLAZE
Vehicles polishers are slightly rough and they remove small parts of pain when put on the surface. Do a spare job when polishing a car. Glaze has a soft oily touch and isn’t rough on finish. Glaze fills in small swirling marks and scratches. This creates a smooth surface when applying wax. It will enhance the life of all the body parts and panels on the car, including car doors, seals, car bumpers, car windows and car hoods.
BUG AND TAR REMOVERS
Getting rid of those sticky road tar and bugs can be achieved with several products available on the market. A fine wide spread of liquid drops can often force into and break up the tar or bug substance, so it’s safe to wipe away. It may be harmful to leave on paint too long, so read the directions prior to cleaning.
WAX
Waxes come in many different types, such as liquid, paste, carnauba, and silicone. Any of these products are used to protect the paint from both the elements and environment.

AUTOMATIC CAR WASHES
If washing your car automatically, do check that the equipment is cleaned. Your vehicles exterior can be damaged if using a dirty or ragged brush to clean its surface. Certain car washes will touch body parts with using high-power sprays to blast off dirt, and will not clean out all nooks and crannies.
