When it comes to keeping your car looking fresh and well-maintained, regular washing is not enough. Professional detailing and the right care techniques can make a huge difference in how your car looks today and how it holds its value in the future. At Custom Shine Frankston, we specialize in premium detailing services to help your car stay in top condition. Here are our top 7 expert tips to keep your car looking showroom-new.
1. Wash Your Car Regularly and Correctly
Dirt, dust, and road grime don’t just look bad—they can damage your car’s paint over time. Always use a pH-balanced car shampoo and a microfiber mitt instead of household detergents, which strip away protective coatings. Regular washes help prevent long-term paint damage.
2. Protect Your Paint with Wax or Ceramic Coating
Your car’s paint is constantly exposed to UV rays, rain, and road contaminants. Applying a high-quality wax or ceramic coating provides a protective barrier, enhancing shine while preventing fading and oxidation. For long-lasting results, consider professional paint protection.
3. Don’t Forget the Interior
A clean interior isn’t just about appearances—it’s about comfort and health. Vacuum carpets and mats weekly, and schedule steam cleaning for car seats to remove stains, bacteria, and odors. Protect leather and vinyl surfaces with interior coatings to prevent cracking and fading.
4. Detail Your Wheels and Tyres
Wheels are often the dirtiest part of the car. Brake dust and road grime can cause long-term damage if ignored. Use a wheel-safe cleaner and a dedicated brush, and don’t forget to condition your tyres for that finishing touch.
5. Pay Attention to Glass and Mirrors
Crystal-clear visibility is crucial for safety. Clean your windows inside and out with an ammonia-free glass cleaner to avoid streaks and protect any window tinting. A properly cleaned windshield also improves driving comfort at night.
6. Schedule Professional Detailing Services
While DIY detailing is great for maintenance, nothing beats a professional service. From cut and polish treatments to interior protection and truck or caravan detailing, our trained team at Custom Shine uses advanced tools and products to achieve results you can’t get at home.
7. Protect Your Investment with Regular Maintenance
Your car is one of your biggest investments. By protecting both the interior and exterior, you maintain resale value and enjoy a vehicle that always looks and feels great. Create a schedule for washing, waxing, and professional detailing throughout the year.
