You can get everything you need for the perfect car detail at a great value. Start with a simple wash to remove dirt, dust and road grime, and then move to a wax to seal in the shine. Cleaning and polishing the wheels and tires will finish off the exterior of the vehicle, while a good detail of the interior will complete the package. Turtle Wax suggests the following easy steps using high-quality car care products to help give dad a flawless-looking vehicle.

    --  Wash: The first step is to clean the vehicle of all surface
        contaminants. For best results, use a product that will deep clean the
        vehicle's exterior and remove any stubborn dirt and stains. Turtle
        Wax ICE(R) Car Wash is a clean-rinsing formula that is safe for all
        finishes.
    --  Wax: Waxing helps restore color and shine left behind from bad weather
        and road debris and leaves behind a protective barrier to help prevent
        scratches, swirl marks and other surface contaminants from damaging the
        finish. Turtle Wax ICE Liquid Polish goes on easy and creates
        exceptional shine. Unlike conventional waxes, ICE Liquid Polish can be
        applied in direct sunlight or on a hot surface without streaking or wax
        build-up.
    --  Wheels and Tires: In addition to washing and waxing the vehicle's
        finish, cleaning and protecting wheels will help keep cars looking like
        new. Turtle Wax ICE Wheel & Tire Cleaner easily cuts through brake
        dust and road debris on all wheel and tire surfaces. The detachable
        unique ICE Edge(TM) Brush helps effortlessly clean intricate wheel
        areas.

    --  Interior: To prevent stains and permanent discoloration, it is important
        to clean interior surfaces, including carpeting, upholstery and inside
        door panels. Turtle Wax's ICE Total Interior Care can be used on
        all interior surfaces and leaves behind a barrier and non-greasy shine.

For a more extensive vehicle detail, Turtle Wax has a full line of high-performance car care products in addition to those mentioned above. Turtle Wax ICE Clay Kit provides the most thorough surface cleaning available by removing particles and impurities from the vehicle's finish to preserve its appearance for years. Try Turtle Wax Chrome & Metal Polish to add a brilliant shine to chrome, aluminum and other soft metals. If old lenses are cloudy and oxidized, Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Restorer Kit enhances safety and appearance by clearing up old and yellowed headlights to like-new condition. For fathers with black cars, Turtle Wax Black Box will improve reflectivity and clarity to the black finish and provide a deep, wet shine.
