Car wash procedure
1. Spray water to remove dirt
Spraying water to remove dirt helps to soften the dust or dirt on the car's surface by spraying the whole car with water from the roof of the car down to the side of car.
2. Wash the car wheel first
Wheels are often the dirtiest part, therefore, the car wheels should be washed thoroughly beforehand so that the dirt from the wheels does not splash onto the surface of the car. If the car wheel is washed last, while washing the wheels will cause the car surface dry itself and will cause water stains on the car surface.
3. Start the car wash from the roof of the car down to the side of the car
Before starting to scrub the car, soak a cloth or car wash sponge in the mixed liquid and then scrub it to clean the surface. Do not make hard polish as it will cause scratch or damage to the car color.
4. Wash the dirt from the sponge or cloth used to wash the car frequently
Microfiber cloth is more popular than sponges due to the possibility of scratches or cat hair marks on the car surface are less because the car wash sponge may have small particles of dust and sand stick to the pores of the sponge. Therefore, if using a sponge, the sponge must be cleaned frequently.
5. After each part of car wash liquid is finished, spray water to wash the liquid out completely
Do not let the car wash liquid dry on the surface of the car due it will cause water stains on the car surface. After finished washing the whole car then rinse with water again.
6. The whole car should be wet while washing
While washing, the entire car surface should be wet to prevent water stains on the car surface.
7. Clean the suspension at last
Clear the bottom at last by using a sponge or cloth to wash the car separately, do not mix up sponge.
8. Wipe the car dry well with microfiber cloth
After washing the car, wipe all surfaces dry to prevent rust and water stains. Wipe the surface by chasing from the top of the car roof down to the bottom of the car and wiping the wheels at last. While wiping, should change several cloths because when we separate several wipes with several cloths, the chances to get scratching at the car's surface are less.
