Though you may be proud of yourself for giving your car a good wash and clearing its surface thoroughly, is it really the case? Surface contaminants such as soot, airborne pollutants, tar, bird dropping, or a splattered bug left too long on the surface, etc., are among things that are not easily removed from a car’s surface. At least not with simple washing.
Though these contaminants may not be easily visible, given their strong bond on the surface. They will create difficulty in later stages of the process, not to mention the damage they will do. But, how do we remove them if we cannot detect them in the first place?
Well, the trick is simple, use a thin plastic bag like that of the bread covering. Wear it on like a glove and move your hand across the surface of your car. You will now be able to feel tiny bumps and other contaminants on the surface, otherwise invisible, as the sensitivity of your hand increases.
Since you cannot scratch these contaminants out, try using a detailing clay bar. This will not only make the process of removing contaminants easy and quick but safe by not inducing further damage.

Once you’re all done with clearing the surface, take a good look at your car. You need to find scratches, bents, or other minor damaged paint areas. There are multiple DIY car paint repair videos one could look up online for a particular case of damage and tricks to get it right.
However, if minor scratches on your car’s clear coat are all that you got. A rubbing compound from a local auto shop will be all that you need to fix. But, if the issue is too advanced for you to fix, seeking a professional detailer for the job is the best choice. Wrong applications and techniques can increase the damage even more.

The next step is to apply car polish to rid your car of those swirl marks and dull paint areas. Spray cans, polishing tubes, or paint pens from a local auto shop will do the job just fine in making your car look as good as new.
Application Of The Paint Sealant
