Auto Detailing For Women

Not just reserved for men, Auto Detailing for Women is a great place to start for all you women looking to make sense of an industry built and dominated by men.

Heck...most men are confused by this subject that is not only expansive, but full of bad information and bad opinions! I have developed this page to dispel the many myths of proper cosmetic car care, and put it into terms that are familiar and understandable from a womens perspective.

• What do I need to know about taking care of my paint?
• What is required to maintain my cars interior?
• Is there a simple approach to car care?

Detailing Made Simple

Let's break auto detailing for women into two categories; paint care and interior/upholstery care. Follow along as I simplify the process and products down into doable and specific steps that any one such as yourself can do.

Paint Care

Paint care can be broken into (3) required products and steps. When it comes to your paint, you are looking for clean, smooth, and shiny. As I said, this only requires (3) steps on your part:

• Weekly washing
• Using the clay bar on your paint
• Spray wax

Let's break these down into understandable steps of action.

Washing- I always recommend people outsource this part of cosmetic car care to the local, quality car wash. You don't have to go crazy here; just find a quality 100% cloth or hand wash. If all you have access to is the automatic wash service with the big tunnel and big plastic brushes, then pass on that and do it yourself.

The Clay Bar- If you are not familiar with the clay bar, or surface prep bar, consider this like exfoliation for the paint. It is the way you remove surface contaminates, pollution, overspray, etc., from your cars paint prior to waxing.

The clay bar will not be necessary everytime you wax, but it will be part of ongoing maintenance. This product is a palm sized slab of stiff Playdoh substance that is used in conjunction with a clay bar lubricant, by rubbing back and forth across your paint until your paint is smooth and contaminate free. Any clay bar product you find at the local retailer will suffice for home use. Go here to read everything you wanted to know about clay bars.

Spray Wax- Car paint needs wax; it is how you protect and enhance the paint on your car. Spray waxes in my opinion are the winning combination when choosing an auto wax. Advances in chemical engineering have made the car waxing process much easier. Gone are the days of spending all weekend washing and waxing your car. A quality spray wax can be applied and taken off in minutes, not hours. Go to car wax reviews to read and see this experts opinions on all things car wax.

Interior Car Care

Interior auto detailing for women can be just as simplified as paint care. It simply requires a few basic tools and one simple product many people already have around the house.

Simple Household Tools

• Plastic scrub brush
• Tooth brush
• Un-used make-up brush
• Terry cloth rags

The good news is not only do most people already have these items around the house, but you can use a mixture of Simple Green as your cleaning product; another very common household product. By mixing Simple Green according to light duty cleaning instructions, you can now have a very effective interior cleaner that is safe for virtually every material contained within all cars: Carpeting, cloth upholstery, vinyl, and even leather.

It is as easy as one, two, three:

1. Spray
2. Scrub
3. Wipe up

For interior auto detailing for women, pick a surface or area to be cleaned or touched-up in your cars interior, spray with Simple Green solution, scrub with appropriate scrubber, then mop up dirt and cleaning solution with terry cloth towel.

I hope I have made auto detailing for women a simplified approach to a part of car care that is often confusing and intimidating.
