Washing stages

Step 1. Preparing for washing

Before you start, make sure you have everything you need:

• Gloves to protect your hands.
• Napkins or towels for final drying.

It is also important to choose the right time to wash. It is best to avoid extreme heat or cold to prevent the water from drying out too quickly or freezing.

Step 2. Pre-rinse

• Use the high-pressure rinse mode to remove dirt, sand and dust from the bodywork.
• Start at the roof and work your way down. This will help avoid scratches that can occur if dirt remains on the surface.

Step 3. Applying foam

• Switch the system to foam mode (or use a suitable gun). Distribute the product evenly throughout the car, starting from the top.
• Let the foam sit for a while (about 1-2 minutes) to dissolve the dirt.

Step 4. Main wash

• Take a brush (if provided) or use a jet of water to thoroughly clean the bodywork.
• Pay special attention to the wheels and the underside of the car , where the most dirt accumulates.

Step 5. Rinsing

• Switch to high pressure mode again and wash away any remaining foam.
• Make sure there are no spots or streaks left.

Step 6. Drying

• Use a clean towel or cloth to remove any remaining water. This will prevent streaks and stains from appearing on the surface.

Useful tips

• Don't skimp on time. A good car wash takes about 15-20 minutes.
• Use protective products. After washing, you can apply wax to create an extra layer of protection.
• Don't forget about the interior. If there is a vacuum cleaner at the car wash, use it to clean the floor mats and seats.

By following these simple recommendations, you can keep your car in excellent condition and enjoy its cleanliness.
