Nobody wants to spend more time, money or effort on washing the car than necessary. There are a lot of supposed shortcuts and money saving tips floating around out there. Which ones really work – and which ones don’t?

What works…

Clay bars really do remove embedded dirt in the paint. It’s important to lubricate them, however to prevent scratching. A bath sponge makes an excellent car washing sponge – as long as it’s not exfoliating. Foaming bathroom cleaner is great for interior vinyl.

What doesn’t work…

Don’t use tooth paste to polish out scratches. It’s not abrasive enough and often contains bleaching agents. Baby diapers are not a good way to quickly dry your car – unless they are cloth. Plastic can scratch or smear the finish.

Finally, the most common misconception is that you can wash a car with dish soap. Sure, you can – but you’ll be removing the wax. Dish soap contains powerful degreasers, and they will try to remove your car’s finish. Many car shampoos, such as Sour Power made by Dodo Juice, contain small amounts of wax to fortify your finish. Yes – there is a difference.

Wheel trims are very easy to change and changing wheel trims does not require professional expertise. All that one needs to do is follow a few steps that are guaranteed to ensure that the change is successful.

The first thing that one needs to do is to look at the size of the wheel first. This is important as it enables the vehicle owner to know the right wheel trims’ size for the wheel before actually purchasing a pair.

After correct identification of the wheel size, the next thing is getting the perfect sized wheel trims fitted. By firmly gripping the sides of the wheel trims, they easily come off the wheel (in instances where there is another that is already fitted). In cases where they do not come off easily, one simply needs to use the socket removing wrench in the tire changing kit. After that, one is able to easily fix the brand new set of wheel trims easily.

Wheel trims are that easy to change. It is a five minute exercise that is able to completely change the overall look of the car by giving it a more decent and appealing look.
