Top 6 Car Detailing Myths Sydney Drivers Still Believe
When it comes to car care, there’s no shortage of misinformation. From DIY hacks to outdated advice, many Sydney drivers are unknowingly doing more harm than good. At Sydney Valet, we're here to set the record straight with real facts from professional detailers.
Here are 6 common car detailing myths—debunked.
1. Dish Soap Works Just Fine Wrong. Dish soap is great for your dishes, but terrible for your car. It strips protective waxes and dries out your paint. Always use a pH-balanced car shampoo designed specifically for automotive finishes.
2. Waxing Your Car Once a Year Is Enough In Sydney's climate? Not quite. Between sun, rain, salt air, and pollution, your car needs wax or ceramic protection every 3–6 months to stay properly shielded.
3. New Cars Don’t Need Detailing Even brand-new cars can have minor imperfections, transport grime, or dealership-applied sealants that aren’t high quality. A professional detail ensures your new ride starts out protected and looking its best.
4. All Scratches Can Be Removed Paint correction works wonders, but it can only fix imperfections in the clear coat. If a scratch is too deep, only repainting can fully remove it. Still, detailing can drastically improve your car’s overall appearance.
5. You Don’t Need Interior Detailing If Your Car Looks Clean Looks can be deceiving. Dust, bacteria, and odours build up in fabrics and vents even when the interior appears clean. Interior detailing is essential for hygiene, comfort, and long-term maintenance.
