After auto detailing my car, how do I maintain and keep its paint clean everyday?

April 27, 2010 By 1 Comment

So after I auto detail my vehicle, how do I keep it clean everyday without placing swirl marks again?
I love a clean and shiny car but I don't think you can wash your car with car shampoo everyday. That would be tiring and a waste of water.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

    They make Quik Detailer sprays
    same thing you used when you used a clay bar

    there used for light dust, fingerprints, wipe off bird poop, etc.
    Usually only use these a couple days after your last wash, any longer and you risk putting swirl marks

    I suggest getting a gallon of this
    since its your best value for your money
    you can also dilute it a little to make it last longer.
    Could probably go with 70% LT and 30% water and still be safe. up to you though. Even undiluted its still cheap.

    also pick up some grit gaurds
    for when you wash the car

    then there’s also spray waxes
    they help boost wax protection and enhance gloss.
    theyre meant to be used on a clean surface only.
    so either use after a wash or detailer spray, or ONR (see below)

    Optimum no rinse,
    basically a no rinse wash
    so you only need a gallon or two of water
    its also on the site
    some people like it, some dont
    up to youl
    can be kind of expensive though..
