It’s time to separate truth from hype. Let’s tackle common detailing myths that hold your results back. Whether you’re new to detailing or a weekend warrior, misinformation can cost you time, money, and results.
❗ Myth 1: More foam = cleaner car. 🧼 Truth: Foam lifts dirt but doesn’t clean alone. It’s designed to soften and encapsulate contaminants, not wash the car entirely. Always follow up with a contact wash.
❗ Myth 2: Dish soap strips wax – just use that! 🧴 Truth: While true, dish soap contains degreasers and salts that can dry out rubber seals and matte plastics. It’s best left in the kitchen.
❗ Myth 3: More product = better shine. 🌟 Truth: Less is often more. Thin coats cure better and reduce streaks, especially with ceramic sprays and QDs.
Busting these myths will not only improve your technique but also enhance the performance and longevity of your detailing products.
