Washing your car at home is an economical approach to helping it look good and maintaining the paint. Yet, making this right takes some knowledge and technique. While washing your car can, itself be a wonderful experience. Furthermore, this will allow you to save not just money but make sure that your car gets the treatment it needs.

 The following are 10 pro tips on how to have a perfect self-car wash each time.

1.Right Tools: for self serve car wash

• Prerequisites: Before starting, choose right tools for the task at hand
• Good-Quality Car Wash Soap (Don’t Use a Dish Soap)
• Pair of buckets (1 soap, 1 rinse)
• Wash mitt or sponge (I recommend a microfiber for safety)
• Microfiber towels for drying
• A soft-bristle brush for wheels
• A hose with a spray nozzle
• Prevention of scratches and cleaning all the way into areas can be quite easy with proper tools.

2.Choose the Right Location

Never wash your car in the sun. It’s because the hotness could make cleaning soap and water dry too quickly, so you find there are spots. Instead, wash your car in a shaded area or if possible either first thing in the morning or later on during daylight saving hours.

3.Pre-Rinse Your Car

Rinse Your Car with Water Before Using Any Soap This will assist in getting rid of loose dirt and debris that could scratch the paint as you start scrubbing it.

4.Use the Two-Bucket Method

This is the two-bucket method that every scratch-free wash should be done with.Place one bucket of water and soap in it. And have another clean rinse water ready for rinsing your wash mitt. Each time you pass the mitt over your car, rinse it out in the clean water bucket to get all of that dirt off before putting back into soapy mixture.

5.Wash from Top to Bottom

Work from the top: Typically, the higher you get on your vehicle, there is less grime. By washing starting at the top and going to the bottom, you avoid dragging dirt from dirtier areas onto any cleaner sections.

Wash in sections: Clean your car one section at a time to avoid soap from drying on the paint.

6.Have a separate mitt for wheels and tires.

tires and wheels are literally the dirtiest parts of your car, so dedicated tools come in handy for lending a hand here. Use a separate mitt or brush to wash them, as not to transfer dirt back on the body

Wheel cleaner: If wheels are more than muddy and/or covered in brake dust (it’;s the fine, metal powder residue produced by brakes), you can use a wheel-specific cleaner that may have different chemicals designed to dissolve nasty stuff on rims without harming them.

7.Rinse Often and Thoroughly

Rinse After Each Section — Rinse the section off after washing to prevent the soap from drying on its surface.

Finish off: After washing the whole car, give it a final rinse to get rid of any last bits of soapy residue.

8.Dry with Microfiber Towels

Drying your car with microfiber towels prevents those annoying scratches and swirl marks. Blot away as much water from the surface before gently wiping to remove any remaining wetness. Old towels and rags can be abrasive.

9.Apply a Wax or Sealant

Once you complete washing and drying your vehicle, consider putting a coat of wax or sealant to help protect the paint on your car as well make it look shinier. You should refer to the instructions of your specific dehydrator for optimal effectiveness. It will also help keep washes easier in the future.

10.Clean the Windows Last

Last but not least, clean the inside and outside of your windows with a glass cleaner and microfiber cloth. This will help you reduce the visibility of also removing all those unnecessary microscratches. Focus on the Edges & Corners
