Washing your car yourself can be a relaxing and satisfying respite, from the concerns of life. You only need car shampoo, a bucket, sponge, tire wax, and some rags. Then go have some fun and here's how;
- Park the car out of direct sunlight. This prevents premature drying which can leave splotches on the paint.
- Set everything you will need near the car.
- Fill a bucket with water and add car shampoo in the quantity directed on its bottle.
- Fill another bucket with plain water
- Hose off the car to loosen the dirt. Don't use a strong jet, as this can rub grit over the paint and scratch it.
- Soak a large sponge in the soapy water, and begin applying it to the car. Do not use a brush on the car body because this will leave little scratches
- Wash the car section by section, starting at the top, Circle around the car several times, washing lower areas with each round.
- As you progress, keep the entire car wet, as this will prevent droplets from drying on the paint and leaving water-spots. Dry the car with towels before it air-dries.
- Scrub the lower body and the wheels last, as these are the dirtiest, grittiest parts. it's a good idea to use a separate cloth on the bottom six inches of the car's body, as this can get especially gritty.
- Use a wheel-brush for cleaning the openings of the wheels. If the wheels are glossy, use a sponge instead to prevent from scratches. Clean the tire side-walls as well
- Rinse the bottom of the car vigorously, from various angles, with a spray nozzle.
- Dry the vehicle with fresh towels.
- Remember to vacuum dust or sand at the leg room carpet and seat.
- When the tire side-wall dry, start applying tire wax to keep it shine.
- Then you can stand 2-3metres away from your car and see what have you done.
