The easiest way to wash your car is at a specialized car wash. If this method does not suit you, you can wash the car yourself. In order to preserve the excellent appearance of its color for a long time, you should know a few secrets.
Necessary
Large sponge, car shampoo, suede cloth
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the right weather to wash your car. No need to wash your car on a hot sunny day, the sun will quickly dry out the water that will leave stains. In strong winds, it is also not recommended to arrange washing, it is inconvenient, and shampoo or other detergent may not wash off and remain on the surface, which will have a bad effect on the paint. Warm weather with variable cloudiness is best suited for car washing.
Step 2
If the machine is covered with a layer of dried dirt, do not scrub or scrape it by hand or with hard objects. Soak hard crust with water and rinse with water jet. A high-pressure water jet machine or a mini-washer helps a lot for these purposes. You can buy it at garden equipment and tool stores. The optimum temperature of water for washing is 30-40 ° C, shampoo works poorly in cold water, and hot water will damage the metal if there are scratches and chips on the paint. Soft rainwater is best.
Step 3
Start the cleaning process from the roof. Moisten the body with a stream of water or squeeze it out of a large sponge, but do not drive it on a dry surface. Water will wash away solid dust particles that leave micro scratches on the paint. From this, the car quickly loses its luster. Here the water will go away by about a bucket.
Step 4
Use a large, deep pore sponge or a car brush with hard bristles at the base and soft at the ends. Look for shampoos that contain wax (natural or synthetic) and silicone. These components will remain a thin film on the surface and protect the paint. Never use detergents for cleaning stoves, sinks and plumbing fixtures when washing your car. Human shampoo is not harmful, but beneficial.
Step 5
Rinse the surface with plenty of clean water. It might take several buckets. Wipe the entire body dry with a flannel rag or a piece of chamois leather. This polish will remove the remaining dust and salt contained in the water, distribute the wax that is part of the shampoo, and give the paint a festive shine.
