• Always use two buckets instead of one. Why? One bucket has to be for the soapy formula. But if you are washing a muddy car, the water would soon turn dirty too, and you will immediately need fresh soapy water. This time, the two buckets are necessary. But if you are washing a car which has nothing but a thin film of dirt on it, you can do with only one bucket of soapy water.
• Never wash a car from down up. Always go up down. Wash off the roof first. Scrub it clean with soapy foam and then rinse the soap off. Next go on to the hood and then the trunk lid and rinse them vigorously. The last parts of the car that you should wash are from the top of the windows to the rocker panels. Rinse each side before moving on.
• Always wash your car in the shade. This is not just to keep you from sweating in the heat, but to see that the sun’s direct heat does not dry off the water on the car so as to leave spots on it. You need to chamois on it before that happens.
• For the interior, always get car seat covers. You can always find them at the stores, and in different prints and colors. Not only will they make the inside of your car look bright, but they will make it easier for you to clean up your dirty car. After days of rough usage, only the seat covers will get dirty so that you can take them off and wash them. You can dry them before putting them back on to the seats.
These tips will ensure that your car is cleaned up properly. Not only will these tips make cleaning your car an easy and fun job to do, but they will also have your car shining as good as new in no minute’s time!
