How To Detail Your Car

Tools of the Trade

Before beginning the detailing process, you'll need the necessary implements and cleaning products. Besides the normal car-washing tools (bucket, water, soap, sponges, car wax, chamois), you'll find that you need some more specialized tools when it gets down to the nitty gritty. While everyone develops their own tackle box of magic depending on their car and the level of detail they wish to achieve, here are a few suggestions to get you started:
  • Vacuum cleaner - should be for wet and dry surfaces and should have multiple attachments, preferably a couple for getting into tiny areas.
  • Variety of rags - include terry cloth towels and thin cotton rags for finer surfaces.
  • Various sizes of small brushes - try toothbrushes or paintbrushes.
  • Q-tips and cotton swabs.
  • Plastic spray bottles.
  • Canned air.
  • Upholstery cleaner.
  • Carpet stain cleaner.
  • All-purpose cleaner.
  • Surface protector (for vinyl and leather surfaces).
