Generally, a detailer will hand clean all cosmetic aspects of the car, so one would wash, wax, and polish the exterior, vacuum and clean the interior, and clean the windshield and windows. Because many different activities can be a part of the car detailing process, it's a good idea to consider what you want to accomplish and choose the products you will use accordingly.

Waxing protects the vehicle from potentially damaging elements like bird droppings, road grime, UV light, and fading. The general rule is to apply a new coat of wax every 2-4 months or whenever your finish begins to lose its original shine. The type of wax you use impacts the lifespan of your work too. A traditional carnauba wax performs differently than wax infused with ceramic or graphene. The key is to wax on an interval that always keeps the clear coat safeguarded.

Most experts agree it’s wise to wash your car every two weeks. In an area where there's a lot of road salt, pollen, or other grime more regular cleaning may be necessary.

Interior accessories can give the interior of your car a complete refresh in a matter of minutes, making your everyday drive more enjoyable. Plus, they can help you organize your personal belongings and protect your interior against everyday wear.
