New detail shop survives slow winter
To prevent extra wax in car cracks, the story recommended working a small layer of wax at the center of the body panel. After that, use only a thin coat of wax and work out towards the body cracks.
When it comes to oil-based tire shine, the story suggested using water-based tire shine instead. Here, silicone may dry out and cause tires to crack.
Finally, the story noted that bird droppings should be removed from vehicles immediately using a soft towel and car detail spray.
