Keep Your Car Looking New For Years To Come With These Simple Steps
I would like to show you some basic car wash techniques I've learned over the
years that can be used on your vehicle to maintain its showroom shine.
Some tools you'll need to get this done effectively
Car Shampoo - A good car shampoo will clean the car's paint while not taking out the wax layer on the paint. If you routinely wash your vehicle, think about purchasing by the gallon, it will cost you less over time.
Microfiber Wash Mitt - I prefer this over thick sponges as this will soak up dirt and not push it around scratching the paint.
Wheel Brush - There are plenty of wheel brushes you can buy in the market. Get one that has soft bristles to make sure that it doesn't scratch the wheels.
Wheel Cleaner - You will not want brake dust to accumulate on the wheels because it will do significant damage to the wheel's finish if left un-cleaned for a long time. Make use of a wheel cleaner to clean the wheels and tires preserving its condition.
Microfiber Towels - Get a waffle weaved microfiber towel that has a deep nap as it will absorb dirt instead of push it around in addition to that it will carry lots of water decreasing drying time. A flexible tool you must have in the toolbox.
Grit guard insert - You insert this product at the base of the bucket so you could move the wash mitt onto eliminate built up dirt keeping the wash mitt clean preventing swirl marks on the paint.
Quick Detailer - It is essentially a spray wax you can utilize shortly after every wash to maintain the car's shine between wax cycles.
Steps in washing your car
Before starting, always make sure that the vehicle's surface is cool. Use of two buckets; the first bucket holds the soapy water and the other holds clean water.
Start with the wheels. Spray a good amount of wheel cleaner on the wheels, leave it on for a few moments for it to soak up and loosen dirt and grime. With the wheel brush, diligently brush off the dirt and then rinse. Remember to wash one wheel at a time just before shifting to another wheel.
Now it's time to clean the vehicle. Add a cap full of car shampoo in the bucket then fill with clean water.
Begin with the roof then slowly move down so that you refrain from obtaining dirt on the bottom and move it towards the other areas on the vehicle scratching the paint. Always rinse before the car wash solution dries up.
After you clean the whole car, dry it right away because you would not want water marks developing on the paint. Using your microfiber towel, start with the windows because water marks are often most apparent within this space then dry the roof working your way down.
Lastly dry the wheels - be sure to make use of a separate towel for this since you don't want to end up getting dirt on the wheels and wipe it on the paint.
A Final Step
Right after drying out the car, spray a bit of quick detailer on the paint and then wipe clean with a microfiber towel. It will help keep up the shine of your car's paint.
There you have it, some simple steps you can do to keep your car looking new and shiny for years to come.
