What products do I need to properly care for my car?
It can be a mind numbing experience trying to figure out what car care products are needed to properly maintain and care for your vehicle. The easiest way to deal with this is to separate the products into the main categories of washing, cleaning, polishing, and protecting.
The first obvious category to discuss is that of car washing products. There are many different car wash products available on the market today, which can make this a daunting process; however there is one product we have found that stands out as superior for the safety and protection of the finish of your car. The Neutral PH Car Wash Soap from Car Care Wizards is a specially formulated ph balanced washing soap to remove residue and road film without harming the finish of your car. When considering what car wash products to use, never use dish washing soap to wash your car. The detergent in dish washing soap is a natural stripper used to strip wax from vinyl floors! You will actually strip the finish off of your vehicle buy using these types of products, so whatever you do stay away from these and use car specific washing products. The next car care product you will need is a good bug and tar remover. These products require particular care as they contain strong products that may harm the finish on your car. There are some manufacturers that combine both treatments in the same can, but regardless all of the bug and tar products we have seen are pretty comparable. You will also need a wax stripper and silicone remover to strip away old wax. This is exactly what it is made to do, but they will also remove road tar and can be very useful for this. The next things you will need are good products for caring for your tires and wheels. The tire and wheel care industry has actually involved into a huge business of its own with so many different types of wheels coming onto the market. You will want to make sure that the cleaner you use is specific to your wheel, whether it is chrome, aluminum, or magnesium. With tire care, there are three components which are cleaners, dressings, and protectants. One of the products that are recommended is the “Forever Black” tire gel from Car Care Wizards. As far as window cleaners go there are many good products on the market, if you have tinted windows you want to be especially careful.
