Step by Step Car Detailing Guides

STEP 1 – Snow Foam and Pre-Wash

This is the first process in either preparing a vehicle for detailing or simply maintaining a detailed vehicle. The initial pre-wash helps to loosen and safely remove dirt and grime from the surface of the paintwork. It does this without making contact with the paintwork minimising the risk of inflicting swirls marks during the washing process.

STEP 2 – Washing The Vehicle

Washing the vehicle is the next step. This is an important one as this is where the swirl marks can be easily inflicted. A good quality wash mitt, shampoo, grit guard and a microfibre drying towel will reduce the risk of inflicting swirls.
