How To Wash A Car

1.     

1. Detailing

Detailing is the first word when it comes to protecting one’s car from the elements. Without frequent cleaning and conditioning of the vehicle, the interior & exterior of it will be prone to cracking, marring, discoloration, and peeling courtesy of road debris, UV damage, etc.

How often a car requires to be detailed is dependent primarily upon how much the vehicle is driven, the kind of extreme driving conditions it sees and if it spends much of the time sitting in the sun.

2. How to assess what a car needs?

A great rule of thumb is that a car should be inspected once a week to see what level of care it might require. When looking at a car, its best to always inspect or check the paint in either direct sunlight or under the bright light. By doing this, all kinds of scratches, swirl marks, and imperfections can come to the surface for analyzing. The more scratches & swirls it has, the longer it’ll take for the car to be returned to its original quality & shine. Headlights of the car should be analyzed for scratches, hazing, and rock chips, while lower trim & splash guards are required to be analyzed for cracks, salt, and road grime build-up.

3. Are you washing your vehicle properly?

While washing a vehicle, it can be simple to ruin a perfectly corrected finish by not taking adequate steps to eliminate swirling & paint marring. Here are the three steps which should be used when washing a car:

1. Make sure that you’re using 3 buckets for the exterior of the vehicle & at least 2 different-colored wash mitts, along with a soft round brush with approx. two inches bristles in length, & plastic or wooden handle with no metal components. One bucket should have the correct amount of car wash shampoo that is super slick, soft, and safe for all surfaces, while the other 2 should have plain H2O.

All the 3 buckets should have at least 1 grit guard each and should be labeled as buckets like 1, 2, and 3. Bucket no. 3 should have your soapy water, wash mitts, and a grit guard, while buckets 1 & 2 should just have the H2O & grit guards. Use one wash mitt beginning at the centerline of the vehicle & slowly work your way down.

Make sure every time you use the wash mitt it’s rinsed in bucket No. 1, then again in bucket No. 2, and then soak it in the soapy water in bucket No. 3 before bringing it back to your vehicle. Repeat all the steps with your other, diverse-colored wash mitts for the lower portion of your vehicle & bumpers. Follow up in the hard-to-reach areas with the soft brush, like the fuel filler compartment, bumper gaps, and other areas that a wash mitt cannot reach.

2. Rinse your vehicle properly, ensuring that you’ve removed all soap & dirt from the surface. To remove the chance of swirling & marring, dry your vehicle with an electric blower, similar to what you would see at a hardware store, or use a Master Blaster (a high-powered blower designed for drying the vehicles). To make sure the air coming out of the blower is clean, never use the blower for anything other than drying the vehicle.

3. Spray wax or Spray a light mist of spray sealant on the car surface & wipe clean with a thick-ply, soft microfiber for a scratch-free finish.
