You don’t have to spend “millions” to make your car shine! Below are a few steps and tips on using our products that may be useful to you during your trip to the car wash
1.
WASHING THE TOP LAYER OF DIRT
Wash the top layer of dirt from the car using water with micro-powder (“basic washing” in many car washes). Remember – dirt doesn’t just get on the paint surface, so make sure to also wash it off the wheels and wheel arches.
2.
CLEANING WHEELS
After washing off the top layer of dirt, apply active foam to the wheels and start cleaning. Use a tire brush to scrub the tire on the wall, then move on to the rims – clean them thoroughly with a rim brush. Remember – make sure the rim brush is damp before use, it will help you clean the rim better and avoid potential scratches.
3.
BODY WASHING
Once you have cleaned the wheels, apply active foam to the entire car, then start cleaning it with a car wash mitt using longitudinal movements (never circular motions), starting from the top of the car and moving gradually downwards. Remember – never use a body glove to clean wheels! Much more dirt collects on the wheels, which when transferred to the bodywork can scratch the paint.
4.
RINSING FOAM FROM THE CAR
Rinse the foam thoroughly from the car with clean water (small remains of foam will not prevent further washing as you will rinse it together with the wax applied in the next step.
5.
APPLYING WAX
Then apply wax (in many car washes it is called polymer) to the entire surface of the car and wait several dozen seconds.
6.
SPINISHING
The last program used in car washes is intended to rinse off wax residues using demineralized water. Rinse the entire car thoroughly and once you have vacated your position, proceed to the next step.
7.
DRYING THE CAR
The last step is to dry the car with a towel. Initially, try to collect excess water by “pulling” it off the body with a towel and then move on to removing water from harder-to-reach places such as door recesses and seals. Remember – never use the towel you use to dry the body to dry the rims, but use a separate microfiber cloth for this purpose only. Any dirt appearing on the towel may cause micro-scratches on body parts.
Enjoy a clean car! Now your car should be clean and shiny. If not, repeat the process with subsequent washes until you achieve perfection and your car will look as if it had just left the detailing shop without unnecessary costs. If you want your hands to remain clean after the entire process, it is worth purchasing nitrile gloves.
