🚗 Micro-scratches: the nightmare of enthusiasts
Do you wash your car regularly, but it ends up losing its shine?
Micro-scratches are often caused by... washing itself. Dirty sponges, bad shampoos, dry rubbing: so many mistakes that damage your bodywork without you even realizing it.
The good news is that with the right products and the right steps, you can wash without scratching . Here's how.
🧼 1. A good pre-wash to remove dirt
Why it's crucial:
Grains of sand, dust or insects can scratch the paint if rubbed directly.
The right product:
➡️ Fresh Foam ProShineAuto
- Acid-free shampoo
- Very effective on ingrained dirt
- Designed specifically to preserve the effectiveness of ceramic coatings
Application :
Use a foam lance or low pressure sprayer, leave for 3 to 5 minutes then rinse at high pressure.
👉 Result: 80% of the dirt is already removed before it even touches the bodywork.
2. Neutral shampoo, essential
Why it's important:
Some consumer shampoos are too aggressive, which can wear down protections (wax, ceramic) or dry out plastics.
The right product:
➡️ Fresh Foam ProShineAuto
- pH balanced
- Anti-scratch lubricating formula
- Compatible with all protections
Pro Tip:
Use the two-bucket method to avoid reintroducing impurities.
🧤 3. The microfiber glove: gentle on paint
Why avoid the sponge?
The sponge traps dirt on the surface, creating marks from the first pass.
The right accessory:
➡️ ProShineAuto Microfiber Glove
- Ultra soft fibers
- Very absorbent
- Washable and reusable
Our tip:
Always work from top to bottom, panel by panel, to limit risks
💦 4. Gentle drying = zero marks, zero scratches
Why it's decisive:
Improper drying (in the open air or with a dirty microfiber) can leave limescale marks or cause micro-scratches.
The right product:
➡️ XXL ProShineAuto Drying Microfiber
- High absorption capacity
- Ultra soft texture
- Does not fluff
Advice :
Don't rub, dab gently. And use a clean microfiber cloth dedicated only to drying.
🧪 5. Finishing and protection: the bonus touch
Why protect after washing?
A quick wax or quick detailer adds:
- Brilliance
- A hydrophobic barrier
- Protection against future washes
The right product:
➡️ Quick Detailer ProShineAuto
- Easy application (spray, wipe)
- Safe for all surfaces
- Mirror finish
- Recharges ceramic coatings
