Then, they can use Lane's Wash and Shine which is the most concentrated soap wax on the market today. Wash & Shine is self-drying and leaves no streaks on the car. The next step after washing is to use Super Cut which will get rid of those swirl marks that seem to happen no matter what.

1. Scratches happen fix them as soon as they do.
As you know, scratches are the number one killer of a car's pristine finish. Avoid scratches all you can and for the scratches you can't avoid, handle them immediately. When dirt and grime get into a scratch,they will act like sandpaper and dull your car's paint when you rub the area while you are cleaning the surface. There is one basic rule which will guide you whenever you touch the surface of your automobile: Anything that comes in contact with your car's finish should be soft - this will help avoid scratches. Using discarded bath towels and even microfiber towels that are not clean can contribute to scratches on your car's finish.

2. Keep your car out of the elements.
This means storing the car in a garage or other covered area away from inclimate weather and the elements. Use a car cover, after all the time you have spent detailing your car, you want to keep that finish. If your car is constantly exposed to sunlight and other environmental hazards, the finish will deteriorate quicker and require significantly more cosmetic maintenance on your part so in the long run you are saving yourself a lot of detailing work.

3. Always keep a good coat of wax or paint sealant on the car.
In addition to providing gloss and depth to the finish of your car, wax will also protect your car from many degrading elements, including weather, sunlight and even bird droppings.

4. Know your car's finish.
No one knows how your car looks better than you do. It is a good idea to make regular quick inspections of your car's surface a habit you perform often. Look it over and note its condition. If you see a scratch, make a note to fix it when you detail your car next.

5. Make a habit of detailing your car on a regular basis
You should detail your car about every 3-4 weeks, unless you live in an area where there is road construction which will cause dust and debris to settle on your vehicle. Just the simple process of washing, drying and waxing your car will bring rewards of a car that looks in tip-top shape for years to come!
