In reply to rAw by Nature's Design. Yes, I've taught my toddler not to touch cars since our first car show (especially the paint). I even remind him on our daily driver so it's easier for him to remember when we're walking next to six figure vehicles at Cars and Coffee.

I appreciate the time you gave in writing this post, I’m going too share this with my teen. years back I worked at an auto body shop. ALSO my dad had a classic hot rod 34 plymouth coupe and I had a corvettes convertible that we took to car shows. Need I say we used q-tips, baby tooth brushes, and a variety of paint brushes in our detailing? I believe it’s important to take care of a car. I cringe seeing anyone leaning on a car, and touching it all over. I think I must have been taught as an infant no touching no eating no trash left in car stomp your feet before getting in. And another biggie no wet clothes or bathing suits. I’m sadly stunned that I see so many children today not being taught this, I find it disrespectful. I guess you tell I like a well kept car! Knowing that a brand new car depreciates immediately once driven off car lot, it is sensible & wise to put effort towards preventing further loss. Seriously who ” likes” losses? Teach others to think for every action creates a reaction, nonetheless, it’s better late than never. However, the sooner the better is simply best! The reason is when taught very young this practice simply becomes 2nd nature and no thought is given, it’s just done! A clean ride shows you have pride in your style which in turn you will give as you recieve many smiles miles after miles. Life is filled with bumps and even the dreadful pothole! Though I have yet had ran into a dead end or left scared and stranded… EVERYTHING takes time and effort so my suggestion is to take the time and turn onto this road, the effort is worthy of the gain and benefits! Smiles and laughter of the genuine kind are self preserving. Self made fountain of youth! Peace

In reply to Greg Detailer. Yes, clay bars are good for removing contaminants too stubborn to be picked up by the regular wash.

Using a clay bar is vital for me, and I am thankful that the writer shared these steps here. I will use these steps to complete one of my new projects. It involves a clay bar.

I like that you mentioned that it is a good idea to clean the inside of your car first so that the inside can dry out while you work on the exterior. I would like to clean my car, but I recently noticed that the fabric on the driver’s seat upholstery is starting to tear apart and the stuffing is coming out. It would probably be a good idea for me to get that upholstery repaired before I do anything else with the vehicle.
