With that said, as always I like to wet down
car real good with water to remove what I can before I start car washing and you should too, it gets of some
dirt that I would otherwise have to.(I know call me lazy) Also before you suds away, this is a good time to remove any bugs and tar using a bug and tar remover. Gold Class Bug and Tar Remover is
way to go here.
Then begin by cleaning and doing
Wheels and Tires. I have written an article on that for you, so if you want to start with
article before moving on.
Using a soapy sponge, and with
car wet down apply
bug and tar remover going over
car until you get all those unsitely trouble spots. After you are finished, rinse area with water.
Starting at
Top of
vehicle go ahead start to wash
car, taking a moment between passes to rinse
car off, as you work your way down from
top to
moldings.
Remember clean
wash mit often in order to keep as much dirt as possible, from being introduced back on to
paint. While car washing be sure to get
door jams,
area outlining
trunk and up under
hood in that hood pocket outlining
engine.
Its important to wash
car completely from top down, as
bottom is alway
dirtiest, as well as under
hood area so do those last. Preferably with a different Wash mit either way remember not to introduce a dirty wash mit back on to
paint.
Drying The Car
I like to use a Dual Pile Microfiber towel to dry
car with. Starting with
windows first, go ahead and dry
car off. Then after you get
windows. Start drying from top down like you washed
car. Do
door jams, and Trunk lid, and under
hood, after you have dried all
other panels of
car like we talked about.
That way we continually eliminate
chance for scratches and swirl marks while you are car washing. If washing
car in
sunlight try not to let
water dry on you, or it will leave water spots. So do
car washing out of direct sunlight if at all possible.
