Before Detailing

Before you do detailing , there are some initial things that (in my opinion) should be done:

1. Vehicle Inspection

Take a look around your car.. What contamination that stuck on your car? What type of defect that happens to the car? It’s better to write it into list so you can work more organized.

2. Prepare the product according to their respective functions

This is the function of vehicle inspection list, you can easily determine which products should be prepared and used. For example, suppose there is tar contamination,  prepare Tar Remover  or if paint surface feels rough,  prepare a clay.

3. Spare 1-2 minutes to read and learn the product direction

Sometimes people ignore the direction and just using the product based on the packaging. For example, the packaging is a sprayer.. Usually people will spray and wipe it. After that, they complaining about the product “It’s useless.. Doesn't work well.. Bla bla bla”.

Well, in detailing a car, using a product isn't that simple (maybe that's why They call it "Detailing"). We should pay attention to the each direction. Same packaging doesn't mean same direction. 

Read and learn the description prior to product application. There are product curing time, shake well before use, shake after each spray, work best on what applicator etc..

4. Prepare drinking water and towel

Drinking water for what? What is the correlation to detailing? Of course for refreshment .. Detailing need concentration and focus. You’ll easily get tired.. Drink some water, it helps you to refresh your brain and body. And towel to wipe off your sweat to keep your body smells good. :D

5. Pray

Pray before work. Perhaps you could pray and ask the God to protect you from slip or fall when washing the car. Pray that everything is gonna be okay. Amen.
