Affiliate and Advertising Policy

This Affiliate and Advertising Policy explains how AutoDetailPedia uses affiliate links and third‑party advertising to help fund the operation, editorial work, and maintenance of https://autodetailpedia.com. We aim to be open about how revenue is generated while you browse our car detailing, cleaning, and interior care content.

1. Purpose of This Policy

AutoDetailPedia values transparency with readers, users, and partners. This policy describes our use of affiliate links and advertising, how these practices appear across our detailing guides and product recommendations, and what they mean for your experience on our site.

2. Affiliate Links Disclosure

What are Affiliate Links?
AutoDetailPedia participates in affiliate marketing programs. Our articles and buying guides may include special tracking links that, when clicked, lead to a retailer or service. If you complete a qualifying purchase or action after clicking one of these links, we may receive a commission or other compensation. This does not increase your price.

Our Use of Affiliate Links
We focus on products and services that are relevant to car detailing, cleaning, and interior care—such as shampoos, ceramic coatings, vacuums, extractors, and protectants. Selections are driven by performance, features, user experience, and editorial judgment. Compensation from affiliate programs does not determine our coverage or conclusions. Any pros and cons we share reflect our honest assessment. Availability and pricing can change without notice, and we do not guarantee results for any specific use case.

Your Responsibility
You are never required to use our affiliate links. You can visit a vendor directly if you prefer. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle, read and follow manufacturer instructions, and perform your own due diligence before purchasing.

Affiliate Programs
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

AutoDetailPedia may also participate in additional affiliate programs from time to time.

3. Advertising Disclosure

Third-Party Ads
AutoDetailPedia may display third‑party advertisements delivered by advertising networks and partners. These ads may be tailored based on your interests using cookies or similar technologies. The presence of an ad does not constitute our endorsement of the advertised product or service.

How Advertising Works
Advertisements are typically labeled with indicators such as “Ad,” “Advertisement,” or similar notices. Third‑party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and others across the internet.

Your Choices Regarding Advertising
You can manage interest‑based ads via your Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com/. You can also opt out of many third‑party vendors’ personalized advertising via www.aboutads.info. Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies may further limit personalized ads, though it may affect site functionality.

4. Sponsored Content & Paid Reviews

From time to time, AutoDetailPedia may publish sponsored articles, paid partnerships, product placements, or receive products for review. We believe in clear, prominent disclosure so you can easily recognize commercial relationships.

Any content created in exchange for compensation (monetary or in‑kind) will be clearly marked at the beginning with disclosures such as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or similar language. Receipt of compensation or sample products does not guarantee a favorable opinion; our views remain our own.

We strive to provide candid feedback, including limitations or drawbacks relevant to detailing and interior care, even when a sponsor is involved.

5. No Professional Advice

The information on AutoDetailPedia, including recommendations and how‑to guidance, is provided for general informational and educational purposes. It is not professional advice. Always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual, follow product manufacturer directions, test in an inconspicuous area, and consider seeking a qualified detailing professional for your specific situation.

6. Your Acknowledgement

By using AutoDetailPedia, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • You understand that AutoDetailPedia may receive compensation through affiliate links and advertisements.
  • You consent to the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies by us and our third‑party partners (including advertising networks) as described in this policy and our Privacy Policy.
  • You will not hold AutoDetailPedia liable for any purchases made through affiliate links or for your interactions with third‑party advertisements or vendors.
