Preparation:
Gather your supplies: hose, buckets, foam gun, microfiber mitt, and drying towel.
Position your car in a shaded area to prevent water spots.
Rinse to Remove Grime:
Start by rinsing the entire car with a hose or pressure washer.
Focus on areas like wheel wells, bumpers, and mirrors.
Foam and Brush the Nooks and Crannies:
Use a foam gun to apply soapy foam to the car’s surface.
Pay attention to crevices, door handles, and other hidden spots.
Gently brush these areas with a soft brush to dislodge dirt.
Rinse Again:
Rinse off the foam thoroughly to remove any remaining dirt.
Ensure all nooks and crannies are clean.
Two-Bucket Method:
Fill one bucket with clean water (for rinsing) and another with soapy water (for washing).
Start from the top (roof) and work your way down.
Wash one panel at a time, using the microfiber mitt.
Rinse the mitt in the clean water bucket before dipping it back into the soap.
Towel Dry:
Use a high-quality microfiber drying towel to gently dry the car.
Pat the surface rather than rubbing to avoid swirl marks.
Blow Dry Hidden Areas:
Use a blower or compressed air to remove water from nooks, grannies, and tight spaces.
Dry areas around side mirrors, door handles, and emblems.
Final Touch:
Take your car for a drive to enjoy the fresh, clean feeling.
Admire the brand-new look!
Remember, regular hand washing not only keeps your car looking great but also helps maintain its value. Happy driving! 🚗✨
