Car washing is troublesome, but necessary. Some car owners prefer specialized car wash services, while others do this work on their own. In this article, we offer one of the ways how to wash a car with your own hands. In addition, you can significantly improve the attractiveness of the vehicle by using tuning accessories for your car.
What is needed to wash a car?
Before you start washing your car, you need to acquire the following accessories:
- Capacity for water;
- Car shampoo;
- Brush for washing rims;
- Microfiber and suede napkins;
- Porous sponge;
- Brush with roller and squeegee for water.
Process
So, the process of washing a car should be performed in the following sequence:
- To begin with, you need to douse the car from above with an abundant amount of water. Most of the water should be directed to the body and wheels, as this is where the greatest accumulation of dirt is. Thus, as it were, we knock down the top layer of dirt.
- Preparing a soapy mixture. To do this, dilute the required amount of car shampoo in warm water.
- Using a sponge, carefully apply the soap solution. Thus, we influence the second layer of dirt.
- We leave the lathered car for a while (depending on the degree of contamination and possible recommendations for shampoo.)
- While the car is idle in a soapy state, you can use a brush to wash and clean the wheel rims.
- After that, pour plenty of water over the car, rinsing off the soap solution. In this case, we use a brush with a roller in abundantly soapy places. We remove moisture from the glass by squeezing.
- Next, remove the remaining moisture and shampoo using suede or microfiber cloths. We carry out this procedure throughout the body, as well as with wheel disks, door sills. We make sure that there are no stains left. If there are any, then the rinsing must be repeated.
- Drying the car. This action can be performed using special napkins, rubbing the body to a shine.
