This Auto Cleaning Tips website was created with the meticulous auto enthusiast in mind. I’ve created several pages and have written articles that explain how to get the best out of your auto-cleaning efforts. I’ve provided tips on several areas including the exterior, the interior, the engine and engine compartment, and of course wheels and tires.
Restoring and driving old cars and trucks has always been a favorite hobby of mine. That’s one reason I’ve put together this auto-cleaning tips website. One of the best ways to appreciate your work is to see how others react to what you have done. Cleaning and detailing your car gives you the chance to “show off” your creation and interact with others that are enthusiasts just like you, whether it be just cruising the boulevard or competing in a car show.
I get more specific on the different areas of auto-cleaning tips within the Categories links located at the bottom right of this page. I’d like to however first talk briefly about a few tips on preparing for a car show before getting into the cleaning tips.
My starting point for any car show is not the car itself, but how I’m going to display it. Most displays include some type of platform to park the vehicle on and then a rope, chain, or something else to keep spectators at a safe distance. The display looks best when it is both done professionally and compliments the vehicle.
Mirrors are always a nice touch if used correctly, specifically to show the undercarriage of a car. Just before judging begins, I have a few last-minute details I take care of. I’ll use a soft duster to go over the body and remove any light dust, I’ll give the tires a fresh coat of Armor All, and I’ll wipe down all parts of the engine. Also give your display a last-minute once over, such as vacuuming.
These were only a few show prep tips. I will continue to add more of these tips and include some of my favorite products that I use when I’m getting ready for “show time” and shooting for another trophy. While each person has their own methods and ideas for auto cleaning, I’m confident you will pick up some good pointers from my advice.
And I know much of this is more than most people would do when cleaning and detailing their vehicle, but I treat it as a hobby rather than a task. Best of luck with these auto-cleaning tips and I look forward to you sharing your ideas also on this website.
