An Illustrated Guide to Detailing Your Car | The Art of Manliness

@Wil
I agree,a thorough two bucket wash (soapy water one bucket, plain rinse water in other bucket), with tire, rim, and underside clean. Plus engine bay, door jam and sills and trim/seals. Make sure none of the water sun dries leaving water marks. Shammy (chamois) dry. Followed by clay bar, then a quick rinse wash. Shammy dry again, then wipe with micro fibre. Hand wax (synthetic wax) being careful to not touch any plastic (dont need to wax every time you wash). Windows clean (I use InvisibleGlass aerosol) and apply RainX (that stuff is liquid gold!).
That right there is 3-4 hours.

Inside the car, vacuum headliner, use the brush attachment to vacuum around the various switches and knobs as well as the perforated leather seats. Vacuum floor mats, carpeting, under seats, trunk, deck behind rear seats/ below rear window. Wipe dash, trim, all plastic with a dull finish cleaner. I use AutoGlym leather cleaner and leather care balm on my seats and all other leather trim on doors/dash. I give the steering wheel a wipe with the balm, let it sit for a few minutes, then thoroughly wipe with a clean microfibre so the wheel wont be slippery at all.
I never have wrappers, garbage, or receipts in my cars but in the off chance I do they are all taken out. Inside of windows get cleaner, as well as mirrors and screens.

If I?m doing ?my? full detail, like you said, basically a full day per vehicle. I do the regime once a month for each car, and the daily driver usually gets washed 2+ times per month and I spot vacuum after passengers with dirty shoes have been in, or after trips to the cottage (or wherever). Takes 2 seconds to spot vacuum when you get home and it makes the car look 99% clean all the time.

While washing the car, it?s good to check the oil level, coolant level (how?s the colour look too?), tread wear and inflation (PSI inflation is usually on a sticker on the driver door jam), washer fluid, if your transmission has a dip stick check that too, power steering fluid will have a dipstick to check as well, and break fluid will have an indicator on the side of the reservoir. Check all lights, turns signals, etc.
That?s all stuff literally anyone can, and should be doing.
