As a car owner, maintaining a smooth and clean driving may be a top priority. There is nothing better than a new car sitting in the driveway that has just been wiped away. If you want to avoid paying big fees at a professional car wash, then soaping your car once is not only easy, but also fun. Read on for a list of tips on how to wash your car by hand for maximum shine.
Collect the right materials: Before you start removing dirt from your car, it is important to make sure that you have the right tools and chemicals to do the job. Avoid using detergent, as it will adversely affect your car paint. Buy some car wash soap and make sure to use wash gloves made of sheepskin or microfiber. There are two buckets in hand and a piece of dry cloth.
Pre-treat stains: If you have any particularly annoying debris that needs to be cleaned, please hit it directly with soap first. Spraying difficult-to-clean stains (such as bird droppings or dead insects) will ensure that you will not have any trouble removing them later.
Rinse: After quickly rinsing the car with a hose, use two buckets and fingerless gloves to start cleaning. One bucket should contain soapy water and clean water, while the other bucket should contain white water for rinsing. This will ensure that you will not wash your car with dirty water. Make sure to use two buckets for cleaning, rinsing and repeating operations.
Don’t forget the wheels: It’s easy to forget the wheels, but these hard-working parts are usually the dirtiest part of a dirty car. First, spray it down with a hose to make it well and moist. After that, use a soft brush to wipe off all dust, dirt and grime.
Perform more than one operation: Rinse again and refill the soap bucket, and use soft gloves to pass the car surface again. This helps ensure that you don’t miss any dirty spots and adds a little extra gloss to the surface.
Final rinse: After completing more than one operation, remove the nozzle from the hose and wash the car from beginning to end with a gentle stream of water. This will wash away all remaining dirt and soap on the surface.
Wipe dry: Use a dry cloth to quickly wipe the car and absorb as much residual water as possible. After the initial erasure, give it another pass, this time focusing on all the attractions you might have missed for the first time. The end result should be a shiny, dust-free car.
By following these tips, you can avoid costly car wash bills and at the same time enjoy some outdoor fun. Make sure to share your own handwashing skills in the comments below!
