In the vast world of car detailing, every car enthusiast knows that the key to keeping a vehicle in pristine condition is protection. This often underestimated but crucial phase is fundamental for preserving the aesthetics and value of your vehicle. In this guide, we will take you through this process, focusing on car protection and the products needed to achieve stunning results at home!
How to Protect Your Car: The Fourth Stage of Car Detailing
Car protection is an act of care and craftsmanship that begins with choosing the right products. It is considered the fourth stage of the car detailing process, following the washing, decontamination, and polishing.
Once the car is thoroughly cleaned and dried, it is restored and in optimal condition, ready for protection to make the results last over time.
How to Protect Your Car's Bodywork
There are several specific products to protect the bodywork, providing lasting protection and exceptional shine. Sealants or wax are the best DIY solutions for protecting the bodywork and shiny paint: sealants offer exceptional durability, while wax provides a traditional application with a warm, glossy finish. Apply the chosen product to a clean, dry surface using a microfiber cloth to reveal a smooth, protected surface.
Choose the product that best suits your needs and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully during application.
How to Protect Your Car's Paint
Your car’s paint deserves special care and attention. Among the wide range of products available, including ceramic coatings or silicon-based sealants, we recommend trying the premium product line from The Care, designed to achieve professional results at home. These products create a lasting protective layer that repels dirt and water, shields against UV rays, and keeps the paint in perfect condition. For glossy paint, we recommend using wax or quick detailer for glossy cars, while for matte finishes, the perfect ally is the quick detailer for matte cars. Follow the product instructions to maximize protection for your vehicle!
How to Protect External Plastics
External plastics can degrade due to UV rays and pollution. These external factors are particularly harsh on plastics, causing fading over time and unsightly imperfections. To protect them, use specially formulated products like the Plastic Refresher to improve the appearance of bumpers and external plastics or restoration products such as the Plastic Restorer black. Apply the product evenly to clean plastics to avoid cracking or discoloration.
How to Protect Internal Plastics
Protecting internal plastics is just as important. Products such as the Interior Cleaner or Plastic / Metal Refresher keep the car's interior fresh, fragrant, and resistant to wear. Apply the chosen product with a manual applicator or microfiber cloth to clean and evenly distribute on interior surfaces, achieving remarkable results and lasting protection. Don't forget the dashboards, which are often invaded by dust and debris. Regular use of Dashboard Polish helps maintain its glossy appearance, nourished surface, and vibrant color over time.
