Exterior Car Care

If you want to do it right, you need more than just soap. Start with a proper car wash, then hit the wheels with a dedicated wheel cleaner, remove bonded junk with a tar or iron remover if needed, and finish with a wax, sealant, or ceramic protection. Clean glass and tires last. Exterior detailing is about layers. Wash, correct, protect.

Wash it every two weeks if you care about your paint. Protect it every three to six months depending on what you are using. If it sits outside, sees highway miles, or deals with winter salt, step it up. The longer contaminants sit on paint, the harder they are to remove and the more damage they cause. Consistency beats heavy correction later.

Yes. Wheels deal with brake dust and road grime that paint never sees. Paint needs lubrication and protection. Glass needs a residue free cleaner so you are not chasing streaks in the sun. One product for everything usually means it is not great at anything. Use the right chemistry for the right surface and your results jump immediately.
