Car Detailing Superstar Gary Kouba Reveals His Secrets



Gary Kouba of Perfect Auto Finish, outside Chicago, has just released a DVD in which he demonstrates the auto detailing techniques he uses and which have given him legendary status among car enthusiasts. Kouba'ss new DVD is appropriately titled, Keep Your Car Looking New For Pennies A Day.

Kouba has conducted over 200 car care clinics for car clubs, schools, libraries, community groups and other organizations in the Chicago area. He generously shares his experience through local newspapers and professional trade journals. He moderates multiple internet car care forums and is widely known as the go to guy for car detailing questions. He has detailed cars for Oprah Winfrey and Paul McCartney, as well as exotic car collectors and ordinary folks who love their cars and want them to look their best.

It isn'st that complicated, Kouba says. By following some basic steps and using the right car care products correctly, anyone can detail a car like a professional, save hundreds of dollars, and have fun doing it. Kouba adds, It really doesn'st take that much time either.

Many people learned to take care of their car'ss finish by washing it on the weekend, drying it with a fluffy terry bath towel or chamois, and perhaps laboriously applying a coat of wax.

Unfortunately, this isn'st the best practice with today'ss dual-stage paint systems, Kouba explains. In fact, that terry towel may be contributing to swirl marks and micro-scratches in the paint, and the wax will only last a month at best. And if you don'st remove the contaminants and micro-particles on the paint before washing it, you just may be grinding them into the clear coat, actually damaging the paint. In the old days, owners would apply rubbing compound, a practice that Kouba warns the novice to relegate to the history books. Forget about drive-thru car washes where whirling materials scrape your car with everything left over from the previous few hundred cars, he warns. And that wax job only lasts 30 days at best. Kouba explains how to get better protection that lasts up to 6 times longer.

In Kouba'ss new DVD he demonstrates the proper steps to obtaining a beautiful, deep finish. He begins by using a clay bar before washing. This critical step is new to many people but is recommended to safely remove tiny particles from the paint before washing so that they do not scratch the paint during the wash process. This step is essential to obtaining a mirror-like finish, Kouba says. The DVD takes the viewer through claying, washing, polishing and sealing the paint. He then demonstrates his techniques for cleaning and protecting the interior including door panels, dash, gauges, carpet and seats.

Kouba also shares valuable advice about avoiding excessive services that dealers try to sell to new car buyers, such as special's paint sealants which can cost up to $1,100, but which knowledgeable owners can easily apply themselves for less than $5.00.

Many people are confused and overwhelmed by the variety of car washes, waxes, sealants, quick detail sprays, towels, washing mitts, applicators, buffers, protectants and assorted products available today. Kouba cuts through the confusion and explains which products to buy and how to use them correctly. By following my simple steps you can have a car that always looks new, says Kouba, re-affirming that you'sll save a lot of money and be proud to say that you did it yourself.
