How To Do Auto Detailing St Louis

By Anthony Brown


There are many people who take pride in their cars. Washing cars can be great when it comes to keeping it neat and tidy. However, if you look to take it back to the way it looked when it was bought, detailing is the way to go. This is a procedure that involves restoring it to its original quality and in some cases even exceeding that. When it comes to auto detailing St Louis car owners can benefit from some useful information.

There are a number of aspects involved and various tools required. Some of these tools include foaming pads, compressor machines, window clean-up solution and foaming pad. One of the parts that will need cleaning is the mat. Mats normally are cleaned using two main tools, that is a vacuum cleaner plus high-pressure hose. To properly clean mats, they are removed then cleaning done from top to bottom.

If the mats have very tough stains and dust that has accumulated over time, they can be sprayed down using a high-pressure hose. If they are made of rubber, it is best to spray them down using water before drying them by hand. Carpets and upholstery are cleaned using gloves, shampoos and sponges. The carpets and upholstery are well vacuumed. To reach all the corners, the seats should be slid all the way forward and all the way back. In case there are stains, shampoo is applied using a cloth or sponge.

The dashboard and vents will need patience and some skill to be cleaned effectively. Dust gets to almost all parts of a car but when it gets to corners that are hidden and thus not easily reached, it becomes cumbersome. These are best cleaned using compressed air. In the case of dashboard that is made of leather, you have to use leather protector that leaves with a shiny appearance.

Cleaning of seats is best done using a wet-vac machine, vacuum, shampoo and other ordinary cleaning materials. The way the cleaning will be effected depends on what materials they are manufactured from. For nylon seats, a wet-vac extraction machine will be used. The device can be hired from various establishments. After use of this machine, vacuuming follows because it is possible some dirt could have loosened. Leather interiors get cleaned using leather cleaner.

Tyres might seem like they are difficult to clean, which is not the case. Their cleaning can be made easy if done methodically. Rims will first need to get sprayed using wheel cleaner that is non-acid. After applying the cleaner, they are cleaned with water in 30 seconds. Brushes and sponges will still need to be used because not all dirt would have been removed. The tyres can be made to shine using Armor All.

The body of a vehicle also undergoes proper cleaning. This will require that you have polish and foaming pad. A small amount of polish is applied to a foaming pad after which the car is covered with overlapping strokes. It then gets wiped with cloth. This is best done in the shade so that polish does not dry on it.

Detailing can either be done professionally or individually. In many cases though, it is best done professionals. It is them that have the skills and tools needed.
