At MiLo Car Detailing, we believe in empowering car owners with the right knowledge. Too many people fall for car detailing myths that harm their vehicles instead of helping them. As leaders in mobile car detailing in Miami and Broward, we’re here to clear up the confusion.
In this article, we’ll debunk four of the most common detailing myths and share professional tips to keep your car looking its best — inside and out.
Myth 1: Dish Soap Works as Car Wash Soap
🚫 The Myth
Many car owners think dish soap can replace car wash soap because it cuts through grease.
✅ The Truth
Dish soap strips away wax, sealants, and protective coatings, leaving your car’s paint exposed to UV rays, salt air, and oxidation.
👉 Instead, always use pH-balanced automotive soaps designed specifically for cars. At MiLo Car Detailing, we use high-quality car wash products that lift dirt without damaging protective layers.
Myth 2: Waxing Once a Year is Enough
🚫 The Myth
A single wax application will protect your car for a full year.
✅ The Truth
In South Florida’s climate, UV rays, salty ocean air, and rain quickly break down a single coat.
👉 For maximum protection, we recommend waxing every 3–4 months. Our professional waxing services create a long-lasting barrier that keeps your car glossy and protected year-round.
Myth 3: New Cars Don’t Need Detailing
🚫 The Myth
“New” means perfect, so detailing is unnecessary.
✅ The Truth
Even new cars arrive with transport contaminants, minor scratches, and dealer handling marks.
👉 Our new car detailing packages in Miami remove contaminants, protect paint with wax or sealant, and condition the interior — giving your car the perfect start.
Myth 4: Water Spots Are Harmless
🚫 The Myth
Water spots are just cosmetic and will fade over time.
✅ The Truth
Hard water spots contain minerals that etch into your paint if untreated, leaving permanent marks.
👉 To prevent them, dry your car after washing and avoid direct sun. Already have water spots? MiLo Car Detailing provides specialized treatments to safely remove them and restore a flawless finish.
