For a serious DIY guy, here are some useful advice to help you out:
If you are using specific car paint protection products, it is advisable to wash your car less frequently since most products also remove dir, grime and dust off the paint. You can replace washing with wiping your car surface with a wet rag to remove even embedded elements in the wax layers. This conserves water and saves time too.
Only the painted parts of your car require paint protection. The products would have little or no effect on chrome and other surface areas of your car that are not painted.
You need to be extra careful when using a product on surfaces that are close to the windshield and windows. Put plastic adhesive tape as cover and protection before applying the products .Most paint protection products are also good for vinyl or fabric car upholstery. Nowadays, you can find double-purpose products in the market which helps in optimum protection of your car inside and out. Always read the label all the time to ensure that you're applying the product on the correct surfaces.
If you want to protect your car's paint without straining your budget, knowing how to do it on your own is one of the practical solutions. Always read the information on the products' labels and research for more information especially those from real people to see real results.
