How to wash you car by yourself?
Set everything you will need near the car. This includes cleaning material: the car wash detergent that you will use for cleaning, a large supply of water (depending on the size of the vehicle), three buckets (two for washing, one for rinsing), a hose, and1-2pcs microfiber cleaning cloths,microfiber glass cloth,microfiber detailing , microfiber drying cloth ,microfiber glass drying cloth and microfiber polishing cloth.
Washing your car by hand can be a relaxing and satisfying activity. Washing your own car will save your money , and allows you to give extra attention to especially dirty areas of your vehicle. Commercial car washes use abrasive materials that may scratch or damage your car’s paint, so washing your own car by hand will allow you to keep the vehicle and paint job in pristine condition.
Part1
What shoul we prepare?
You’ll also want to have two or three wash mitts on hand, plus two large sponge,.
You can purchase car-specific detergent at your local auto parts store. When filling the two wash buckets with detergent, be careful to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations concerning the suggested water-to-detergent ratio.
Part2
Begin washing the Car
1.Hose off the car to loosen and soften the dirt.
2.Wash your car using a large wash mitt. Before you begin scrubbing the surface of your car, soak a large wash mitt or sponge in the soapy water, being certain to wash out any dirt in it, and begin applying it to the car.
Mitts with long, dangling strands do not push grit onto the car as hard. This type of mitt is preferable, as it’s less likely to scratch the surface. They should still be rinsed, then dipped into the soapy water often.
Mitts, unlike sponges, can also be washed in washing machines to remove all the grit.
3.Wash the car section by section, starting at the top.
You car use the wash mitt and the microfiber cleaning colth. Circle around the car several times, washing lower areas with each round.
4.Keep the entire car wet as you wash it and dry
As you progress from one section to the next, it’s important that you use the hose to keep the entire car wet. This will prevent water droplets from drying on the paint and leaving water spots. You want to be able to dry the car with towels before it air dries.
5.Save the lower body of the car for last. Scrub the lower body and the wheels last, as these are the dirtiest, grittiest parts.It’s a good idea to use a separate wash mitt or sponge on the bottom, as you’ll likely end up with a completely soiled wash mitt from this part of the car alone.
6.Clean the window the glass cloth.
7.Clean the inner and edge with the detailing towel.
Part3
Drying and Waxing the Car
1
Dry the vehicle with microfiber drying towels. Don’t be afraid to use several towels while drying your vehicle—fully wipe down all surfaces that you’ve washed, in order to prevent rust from building up. Make sure not to leave any water standing on your vehicle once it’s dried, as this can tarnish the paint or cause rust.
Microfiber towels work the best for drying all car surfaces.When you’re finished using them, toss them in the washing machine. When laundering, don’t use fabric softener on microfiber towels. It can become trapped in the pores, then leach out, leaving a residue on the car surface.
2
Wax the car once it’s been dried. Wax (or similar polish) should be applied to a clean, dry car. You may need to wax the vehicle with sponge more than once: the failure of water to stand up in beads (or the presence of small pools of water on the car’s surface) after washing is a sign to re-wax.
3
Polish the car with polishing towel.
Use a microfiber polishing towel to polish your car like a pair of leather shoes. It’s actually the same process as shoeshine, but it’s a lot bigger.
