1. Chrome Re-Finish Polishes
Chrome polishing is a technique of electroplating thin layer of chrome over a metallic object. Though chrome plating is used in cars for decorative and corrosion resistance purposes, rusting and corrosion occur overtime due to the presence of rust-prone metal underneath the coatings. Chrome polishing solutions are used to remove rust and re-polish affected chrome surfaces. Some chrome polishing solutions are meant to polish small scratches, while others are produced to remove deep gouges. Aluminium foil is often used to wipe or scrub off rust from a chrome surfaces, as aluminium is softer than most metals and doesn’t scratch the surfaces of chrome plating or the metal underneath. Available in both cream and liquid forms, chrome polishes can also be applied to glass and mirrors to provide a protective shield.
2. Leather Preservatives
Leather upholstery and dashboards should be detailed on a regular basis to maintain their beauty and durability. Leather can become brittle and cracked if not cleaned and conditioned on time. A variety of leather preservatives are available on the market to help you preserve the color of your leather and protect it from sunlight. Make sure to use non-drying leather cleaners to remove stains and dirt. Purchase conditioners such as mink oil or lanolin that offer UV protection, and contain moisturizing ingredients to maintain the leather’s sheen and durability. Even if you have recently replaced your car’s upholstery, make sure to follow a regular maintenance regime to prevent additional replacement expenses in the near future.
3. Wax Polishes
A range of wax polishes that offer high gloss to car surfaces are available on the market. Polishes ranging from natural paste waxes to liquid waxes are available for car detailing, and can be easily applied and removed with an orbital polisher. Though paste wax is more expensive when compared to standard wax, a tin of paste wax lasts longer than a bottle of regular wax.
Conclusion
In addition to the aforementioned car detailing products, you need various detailing tools such as brushes designed to fit in every dashboard opening, vacuum cleaner to clean carpets and foot mats, and buffing cloths to add extra sheen to your wax job. When purchasing any car detailing polish or preservatives, make sure they are not made of strong chemicals. Strong chemicals can ruin the aesthetics of your car rather than making it look better.
