DIY Car Care: When to Trust Yourself (And When to Just Pay the Damn Pro)
Look, DIY is cool. Respect to anyone who’s out here watching YouTube tutorials and buying microfiber towels like a legend. But also? Know your limits.
It’s one thing to clean your interior or wash your car the right way. Go off, king. But when you’re trying to wet sand your own paint or do a ceramic coat from Amazon without proper lighting or prep? Bro… stop.
There’s a time for DIY and a time to call in the squad. A real detailer knows stuff you don’t. Has tools you don’t. Knows how to not burn through your clear coat.
So yeah, learn the basics. Get your hands dirty. But don’t be afraid to admit when a job is bigger than your driveway setup. Sometimes saving money costs you more in the long run. Let the pros be pros.
