Now you’ve covered the main areas of your car wash, you’re ready for a spot of detailing.

How to finish your windows when washing your car
One of the things you want to do when you’re detailing is do your glass last!
It’s a pretty easy one
Get our Naked Glass and a Big Softie towel
Just spray a couple of sprays
Back and forth up and down
Go from the low pile side then turn it to the high pile side
The dry side, and buff off anything that’s left.
It’s safe for tinted windows with no Ammonia in it and do the same on the inside
But on the next application of the product only use one spray…. up and down, back and forth
Turn to the high pile side and this is how you get perfect, streak-free windows and glass.

Now, the very last thing we do is your tyres
Get your tyre sheen
You spray the tyre sheen directly into an applicator
We use a little foam applicator here and then apply it to the tyre.
Hold your finger on the inside of the foam applicator.
Go back a few times to make sure it gets in all the grooves and that of the tyre.
And, what it does is cleans the tyre up and brings its back to looking as brand-new sheen as a tyre should.
When you have finished with your tyres, to complete it all take the car for a drive.
The reason being, the air on the road will help dry and remove the water from the recesses.
