Washing Your Vehicle

Posted by admin on June 22, 2010

In order to keep your vehicle looking the best condition we recommend that you wash your vehicle by hand.  There are a variety of products & services available to assist in cleaning your vehicle and we have put together a list of tips for washing your vehicle.

• Products Needed:
  • Watering hose
  • 2 Buckets
  • Vehicle soap product (ensure that this product is adequate for your vehicle)
  • Tire cleaning product(s)
  • Washing mitts or sponges
  • Drying towels – we recommend microfiber towels
• Steps to Wash Vehicle:
  • Wash your wheels first.
  • Spray each tire and wash the wheel with a tire cleaning product of your choice and then rinse off with the hose.
  • Mix your vehicle soap product & water into 1 bucket.
  • Put only water into the 2^nd bucket for rinsing your washing mitt or sponge. You do not want to use the same bucket as your soapy water to rinse.
  • Soak your washing mitt or sponge in the soapy water & ring out.
  • Wash your vehicle from top to bottom in sections & rinse often.
  • Do not wash your vehicle in the direct sunlight.
  • Once you have washed all areas of your vehicle give it one last rinse and dry the vehicle from top to bottom with the drying towel of your choice.

Once you have completed the steps above your vehicle is clean.  You can go above and beyond by using a wheel wax, polishing products, a clay bar to remove hard to remove contaminants and glass polish for the windows.  Good luck in your washing adventures!
