Frequently Asked Questions

What is car detailing and how is it different from a regular wash?

Detailing goes beyond surface cleaning—it includes contaminant removal, polishing, waxing, and interior deep cleaning to restore your vehicle to a showroom finish.

How often should I use Paragon Detail products?

  • For exterior maintenance: Use snow foam or pre-wash weekly or biweekly depending on driving conditions.

  • For full detailing (polish, seal, coating): Schedule every 3 - 6 months for daily drivers, or 1 -2 times per year for low mileage cars.

Can I use Paragon snow foam on pressure washers and foam cannons?

Yes! Whether in a handheld foam gun or a pressure washer cannon, our snow foam applies perfectly as a foaming pre-wash to safely emulsify dirt before washing.

Are Paragon products safe for all paint types and coatings?

Absolutely. Our formulas are pH-balanced and designed to be gentle on clear coat, paint, plastics, rubber, leather, and vinyl. Ideal for vehicles with ceramic coatings.

Can I use home cleaning products like dish soap instead?

We don’t recommend that. Household cleaners can strip protectants or harm trim surfaces. Stick to dedicated automotive products. Paragon offers safer and better-performing alternatives.

How long does detailing take with your products?

  • Snow-foam pre-wash + two-bucket wash:  30 - 45 minutes.

  • Full detail (inside/outside + polish/sealant): 4 - 8 hours or longer depending on vehicle size.

Can I detail my car myself with Paragon products?

Absolutely. These products are easy to use for both DIYers and professionals. Follow the dilution guide, use proper tools, and always start with clean surfaces.

What accessories do I need to use with Paragon products?

Key items: microfiber wash mitt, grit guards, foam gun or cannon, soft interior brushes, a quality polish pad, and microfiber towels

How do I maintain results between detailing sessions?

  • Use snow foam weekly or before two-bucket washes to pre-clean.

  • Apply sealant or quick detailer monthly to refresh gloss and protection.

Are Paragon products eco‑friendly?

Yes, our formulas are biodegradable and non-toxic, safe for use on your car and the environment.
