How to Maintain Your Car After a Detail
So, your car just got the full AutoAgapay treatment—clean, shiny, and looking fresh from top to bottom. But how do you keep it looking that good in between detailing sessions?
Here are some easy, effective tips to help maintain your car after a professional detail.
1. Use a Car Cover (If You Can)
Parking outside? A car cover can protect your newly polished paint from dust, UV rays, bird droppings, and rain—all of which can dull your finish fast.
2. Quick Wipe-Downs Go a Long Way
Keep a microfiber cloth in your car for light wipe-downs. Dust, fingerprints, and light dirt can build up quickly on surfaces like dashboards, windows, and touchscreens.
3. Avoid Automatic Car Washes
They’re fast, but those spinning brushes can scratch your paint and strip away wax. Instead, opt for hand washing—or better yet, book another visit with us when it’s time.
4. Be Careful What You Eat Inside
We know it’s tempting (especially during long drives), but food spills and crumbs can undo that fresh interior detail. Try to limit eating in the car or use spill-proof containers.
5. Top Up with a Spray Wax or Sealant
A quick spray wax after washing helps protect your paint and maintain that glossy look. Ask us for product recommendations—we’re happy to guide you!
6. Clean Spills Immediately
Stains set quickly, especially on fabric seats and carpets. If something spills, blot it ASAP and avoid rubbing it deeper into the surface.
7. Schedule Regular Maintenance Details
Even with great habits, your car will still need a refresh. Depending on how often you drive, we recommend scheduling a full detail every 2 to 3 months.
