This is a guide for those who are love in love with their cars, who want to make it look as good as new, for vanity's sake or in preparation of a sale. And I will be your sensei in your quest for that showroom fresh clean.
But before you attempt to do anything to your car, there are a few basic steps to follow;
-
You need to take off your watch, rings, bracelets or anything else adorning your hands and arms. You need to do this to avoid scratching your car, keeping them on would lead to a horrid mesh of scratches on the paintwork, thus rendering the entire process rather moot.
Basic household practice requires you to use 2 buckets to clean anything around the house, and your car, as a member of your household, qualifies. One bucket if filled with clean water and the other is for rinsing all that dirt you'll wipe off your car. Using one bucket would just result in a cycle of reapplying manning jersey colts peyton manning jerseys the dirt onto broncos manning jersey orange your car.
DO NOT use household cleaning products. Your car is not the same as your house's floor or your dishes. It's a delicate machine that needs tender loving care. So, no dishwasher fluid or detergent should ever touch your car. They have acidic or alkaline properties that will just be murder on your paintwork leading to fading and peeling away. Get proper car washing liquid that is PH-neutral to do the job.
Before you commence the task of cleaning your car, collect your stuff together. Don't spend the time you've allocated to the care of your car to be sent hunting around for tools or material. Order is key to creating that new car look. To do a great job, you need car washing fluid, 2 buckets, lint-free cloths, tire brush, a water blade, window cleaner and wax/polish.
Like a woman, you have to dedicate time to take care of Susannah, Lucy, Samantha or whatever name you've given your car. To do a thorough job, dedicate 3 hrs on a Saturday morning to "her". Even your woman would appreciate the ride after you've done a good job.
Put warm water into the 2 buckets, adding soap into one to make a foamy mixture. Now using a cloth, dip into the soapy mixture, try and get as much water and soap onto it as possible and start.
Start from the top working
A water blade is the instrument you see service station attendants use to clean off your windscreen while you fill up. The hand held version allows for manoeuvrability, letting you dry off your car, quickly.
DO NOT leave your car to drip dry; you'll be left with horrid watermarks that will make you wonder what you had been doing.
Next, take out the wax. The point of wax is to protect your paintwork, keeping it looking fresh for years. It protects the paint from fading and contributes greatly to the look of the finish. And furthermore it will last 6 months so it's not a weekly thing. Some car lovers prefer polish to wax because it's easier t get it into a shine, but waxing your car is a labour of love and wax lasts longer and is more protective than plain buy peyton manning jersey polish. With wax, using a dry cloth, apply it onto the body of the car, leave it on for 5 to 6 minutes and then buff it. The end result would be gleaming body work that looks fresh.
For your tyres, check your tread for obstructions such as mud and sand. Use a hard brush to dislodge the dirt and to clean your tires. Keeping your tread clear reduces the chances of you skidding and allows for greater traction and control. read more
