Step-by-Step Tips to Achieve a Flawless Finish at Home
Want your car to look like it just rolled out of a professional detail shop? You don’t need expensive tools or years of experience—just the right techniques and products. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use Arete Chem products effectively so you can avoid common beginner mistakes and get showroom-worthy results.
🧼 Step 1: Start with a Proper Wash
Product: pH-Neutral Shampoo
Use a gentle shampoo to remove dirt, road grime, and buildup without damaging your car’s finish. Always wash in the shade and rinse thoroughly.
💡 Pro Tip: Use the two-bucket method—one for soapy water, one for rinsing—to minimize swirl marks.
🧽 Step 2: Decontaminate the Surface
Product: Iron Remover or Clay Bar Lube
Before polishing, it’s essential to get rid of embedded contaminants. Spray the iron remover over the paint and let it work for a few minutes. For extra smoothness, follow up with a clay bar.
đź’ˇ Pro Tip: Always work section by section, and never let the product dry on the surface.
✨ Step 3: Polish for Perfection
Product: Medium or Finishing Polish
Use a polishing compound to eliminate light scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. Apply with a dual-action polisher or by hand with an applicator pad.
💡 Pro Tip: Less is more—start with a small amount and build as needed.
🛡️ Step 4: Protect the Finish
Product: Spray Wax or Sealant
Once your paint is clean and polished, lock in the shine with a protective layer. Spray waxes are quick and easy, while sealants offer longer-lasting protection.
đź’ˇ Pro Tip: Buff gently with a clean microfiber towel for a streak-free finish.
🌬️ Step 5: Don’t Forget the Interior
Product: Interior APC + Odor Neutralizer
Clean dashboards, door panels, and seats with our all-purpose cleaner. Finish with an odor neutralizer to refresh your car's cabin.
đź’ˇ Pro Tip: Use a soft detailing brush for hard-to-reach areas and vents.
