Then, use a dry soft terry cloth/cloth diaper to wipe off extra wax. Begin with first panel you worked on and go on from there. Make sure you shake off any excess wax that accumulates on your cloth. It’s easier to wipe off wax when your cloth isn’t itself caked with wax. Finish wiping entire car.

Check for any remaining wax residue and clean it off.

Make sure to wash your cloth with liquid softener to prepare it for your next use. This ensures there isn’t any remaining dirt that might scratch your car next time you use cloth to wax it.

3) Apply Tyre Polish To Complete The Look

Spray your tyres with Meguiar’s Hot Shine High Gloss Tyre Spray (http://www.fdcars.com/newsletter/n2-4.htm) to complete that shiny, wet look. It’s easy to apply with trigger spray and you’ll can do it in less than 5 minutes. Having shiny tyres really makes your car look newer.

4) Apply Leather Conditioner To Protect It

If your car comes with leather seats, make sure you clean and condition it at least every other month. Meguiar’s Medallion Premium Leather Care conditioner (http://www.fdcars.com/newsletter/n2-5.htm) will do job. Wipe cleaner/conditioner onto your leather seats with a clean terry cloth/diaper. Leave for 15 minutes before wiping off any extra residue. This helps to keep your leather supple and smelling like new

For your vinyl surfaces (dashboard, door interiors, etc), do same thing but use Meguiar’s Vinyl & Leather Cleaner/Conditioner (http://www.fdcars.com/newsletter/n2-6.htm) instead. Your interior will remain looking brand new.

5) Show Off Your Nice & Shiny Car

Your car will continue to look brand new if you follow this routine. Your friends and family will admire your "new car" even though it’s 3 years old. The best thing? You’ll fetch higher prices when you sell your car next time. With it’s gleaming paintwork and spotless interior, you won’t have any trouble getting a buyer for your car.

Helpful thoughts for parents in brief are:

* Drive by example

* Watch your emotional response while your teen is driving

* Work with your teen on various driving conditions, not just dry sunny days.

* Large open fields or empty parking lots are good sources for practicing

Of course while you’re working with your teen driver and their permit license, we have to keep drivers around us in mind too. Auto Safety Magnets has a focus strictly on car safety for teen drivers, their parents and driving schools. Our magnets will increase road awareness and traffic safety.
