Introduction
Car detailing is the secret to maintaining your vehicle’s shine and value. But even experienced detailers can make small mistakes that lead to swirl marks, faded paint, or dull finishes. Let’s look at the top five car detailing mistakes and how to avoid them using professional detailing products from The Microfiber Shop.
1️⃣ Using the Wrong Car Shampoo
Using household soaps or harsh detergents can strip wax and damage your car’s surface.
✅ Always use a pH-neutral car shampoo like Koch Chemie Nano Magic Shampoo for safe, glossy results.
2️⃣ Skipping the Pre-Wash Stage
Jumping straight to contact washing can push dirt into the paint and cause scratches.
✅ Rinse the car thoroughly or use a foam pre-wash to loosen grime before shampooing.
3️⃣ Using Dirty or Low-Quality Towels
Old rags or dirty cloths can leave micro-scratches and swirl marks.
✅ Always use clean, soft microfiber towels like Poshlyf 350GSM Edgeless Towels for drying and buffing.
4️⃣ Polishing or Waxing in Direct Sunlight
Heat can dry out the polish too quickly, leaving streaks and residue.
✅ Work in a shaded area for even, smooth application and lasting shine.
5️⃣ Ignoring the Interior
Many car owners focus only on the exterior, forgetting that interiors collect dust, fingerprints, and stains.
✅ Use Koch Chemie Allround Quick Shine to clean dashboards, trims, and glass safely.

Detailing isn’t just about making your car look good — it’s about protecting and preserving it. Avoid these common mistakes and use premium car detailing products for perfect results every time.
