When you are detailing the exterior of your vehicle you will find certain areas needing more attention if you want the best results. You will agree that the exterior of your vehicle is the most important part of the detail.

1) You are best doing the front and the wheels separate to the rest of the car, this is because it’s often the dirtiest so you would hate to mix up the dirt when cleaning the other panels. Use separate buckets, sponges and paintbrushes when cleaning the front, you should just clean them thoroughly after you have finished.

2) Before you start cleaning the front end of your vehicle you should wet the area first.

3) Using a degreaser you should spray the areas that you intend on cleaning. You can pick up degreasers that are used for vehicles if you want the best results.

4) Using a sponge of cloth you should then wipe down the area removing the dirt and any bugs that may be stuck onto the front. Sometimes it will take a couple of wipes to get the front end clean depending on how bad it is.

5) You can use a paintbrush for any areas where you cannot get into to make things much easier for you. Areas such as the grills are hard to get the cloth into in order to clean it properly.

6) Simply spray the front end down again removing all of the chemicals and excess dirt and dry the front end with a new cloth.
