After you wash your car, using a good shampoo, you need to wipe off all the moisture from the surface. Do so using microfiber towels, or those made of chamois leather.

Once you are done with the washing, it's time to wax your car to protect the paint and enhance its looks. Waxing will maintain the posh look by protecting the surface. Make sure the car is dry and dust free.

Take a good quality liquid wax and spray it on the body paint. Then, buff it with a soft towel or chamois leather. You can also opt for a 'wax-off' towel to buff the wax perfectly. Remember not to apply wax on plastic or steel exterior components, it must cover painted surfaces only.

You must vacuum your car thoroughly, as each corner and area needs to be worked on to get rid of dust. Even though you may be vacuuming your car every month, it is not enough. You need to do it every week.
