Scratches And What To Do When They Happen

You can run but you can't hide. No matter how carefully you park your car, use that car cover, keep your car out of the path of stray shopping carts, the inevitable will happen, you will get a scratch on your car's finish.

How you handle it when a scratch happens will make or break the good looks of your car's exterior. Not only that, left untreated, a scratch will become an open invitation for rust to settle in on your car's finish.

Here's what you can do when you find a scratch has come calling on your car. A new paint job or even a touch up to your car's exterior can be a pain in the pocketbook. Instead, if the scratch isn't too deep, you can get some outstanding results using Super Cut Rubbing Compound.

Super Cut works by removing minor surface scratches before they ruin the finish of your car and as a bonus, it also gets rid of swirl marks on your car's finish. Super Cut is a non-abrasive rubbing compound that you just apply with a clean cloth and rub with gentle even pressure on the area until it is dry. Then, simply wipe the surface with a clean microfiber towel and you should have a wonderfully restored finish.

Some finishes may be a little dull over the scratched area after using Super Cut, you can brighten that area up by using Renewit Auto Polish, also for removing which also helps remove scratches and brightens your paint job. Renewit will give outstanding results on black, red or darker painted cars. It is easy to use, just apply with a clean microfiber towel, wipe over the surface that has been damaged and then wipe off with a clean microfiber towel. This should resolve your scratches on your car's finish and give you a bright,shiny exterior to be proud of!

When Should You Use A Glaze On Your Car?

If you're getting into the habit of detailing your own car, you've discovered that by using high end products instead of the inferior products available over the counter, that you can get a showroom finish in your own driveway. You've also discovered at this point, how much money you can save when you do your own detailing!

One point that confuses many people in the beginning is when to use a wax and when to use a glaze. Think of a glaze as something that gets your car's finish ready for waxing. It leaves the surface perfect to accept the wax of your choice.

After cleaning your car, simply apply Ultimate Glaze which will bring out a brilliant shine. Any paint defects will be minimized in your clear coat finish. There will no residue and Ulitmate Glaze is very easy to apply. Simply use a microfiber towel and apply in small areas or use an auto polisher. After apply and completely removing the Ultimate Glaze, you will be left with a car that is ready to be waxed.

Another popular glaze is the Horizon brand. Horizon Glaze is as easy to use as Ultimate Glaze and you get the same high-quality results. This paint glaze dries quickly and provides a deep paint glaze finish that will protect your car's exterior. Also this paint glaze is okay to use on all your paint finishes with outstanding results. It is applied as easily as most glazes, simply use a microfiber towel, apply in small areas, rub in thoroughly then wipe off with a clean, dry microfiber towel.

After using a glaze, choose either Gold Edition or Carnabua Wax for a superior quality shine on your car's finish.

What Is A Driveway Detailer?

You may have heard the term tossed around but you aren't sure what it means. It simply means any person that chooses to do their own detailing of their auto in their home as opposed to taking it to a professional detailer.

If you use high-quality auto detailing products as opposed to over-the-counter products, there's no reason you can not acheive the same results as a professional detailer - as long as you have a little know-how.

In order to detail your car you just need some basics such as :

1- A microfiber wash mit or two is a handy item to have around, you must start with a clean car in order to detail it right, so getting your car as clean as possible is a priority.

2- A bug sponge will make your life easier when removing the little critters. Their bodies usually contain enzymes that break down the paint on your car, removing them as quickly as possible is a priority and you don't want to use a bug sponge for any other purpose on your car.

3-Drying towels. Load up on these as you will need plenty and be sure to use a clean towel everytime you dry your auto. If you use an old towel from your bathroom or worse one relegated to the garage, you will find little fibers and lint bits all over your car's clean exterior and you can't wax on top of that. That alone should make the case for owning several microfiber drying towels.

4-A soap jet nozzle lets you get rid of the bucket of water and wash your car with powerful jets of soap and then rinsing water - certainly beats the bucket!

5-If you're not sure what products to use, Lane's has a number of great kits put together for you and they include their auto detailing package that comes with the soaps, finishing waxes, tire dressings and even some interior detailing so your car can look good inside as well as out!

That's just the basics for doing your own "Driveway Detailing" now that you know the ropes, get the right tools for the job and enjoy a better looking car!
