How to Achieve a Showroom Shine at Home – A Step-by-Step Guide

We’ve all admired the pristine, mirror-like finishes of cars sitting in a dealership showroom. With Auto Bahn’s line of premium car care products, you can achieve the same look at home. Here’s how:

Step 1: Start with a Clean Slate

Before you can achieve that showroom shine, your car needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Use Auto Bahn’s Deep Clean Car Wash to remove all the grime and build-up that dulls your car’s paint. Be sure to wash in straight lines to avoid swirl marks.

Step 2: Use Clay to Remove Embedded Contaminants

Washing isn’t always enough to remove all contaminants. A clay bar can help remove stubborn particles like brake dust, tar, and tree sap. Auto Bahn’s Clay Kit is easy to use and provides a smooth surface ready for polishing.

Step 3: Polish to Perfection

Polishing is key to getting that smooth, reflective finish. It removes minor imperfections and brings out the depth in your car’s color. Auto Bahn’s Premium Polish restores your car’s finish, leaving it swirl-free and glossy.

Step 4: Lock in the Shine with a Wax or Sealant

The final step to a showroom shine is applying a protective layer. Wax provides a deep, rich gloss, while sealants offer more durability. For the best of both worlds, apply our Carnauba Wax for shine and Paint Sealant for protection.
