The best way to wash a black car?

What is the best way to wash your car?

  • This ought to be a simple task, but I always feel very inept at it.  What processes, cleaners, and tools are the best?

  • Answer:

    1. Use car wash soap, not dish soap or other soap, so you don't strip the wax. 2. Use soft cloths or sponges free of dirt, so you don't scratch the paint. Use a mesh-covered sponge for bugs or spots of tar. 3. Wash from the top down, so you don't run dirty water over the parts you cleaned. 4. Use a chamois or microfiber towel to dry, so you don't leave water spots. (5. And avoid sunlight or heat, so the water drops don't dry and leave spots before you can dry them)

The best method is to use a professional that is VERY knowledgeable about cars, paints, etc.  But to do it yourself I'll add to what said, since ALL of his points are VERY good tips.  In addition to avoiding sunlight, make sure your car is cool before you start washing it as well.  Also ensure that you're using soft water if possible to avoid the least amount of damage to the paint.  And when using a sponge or cloth, be sure to wipe in a "s" patter vs. circles when applying the soap.

Use a hose so that the stuck dirt or other unwanted materials can be removed just by washing it and then two buckets, one of clean water and one of soapy water. Then dip the sponge into the clean water rinse it and then put it into the soapy water and start from inside to outside and from top to bottom. Move the soapy sponge in a circular motion without straining much and then dip it in the soapy water again and continue washing. If the water gets very dirty then throw it and use another water bucket. And in the end with the hose remove all the surf and detergent so it won’t left there.Don’t: Don’t apply direct soap because it will result into stains.And if you still think that you can’t then check http://whatdealshere.com/cars-and-bikes-on-sale and get your car wash at minimum cost.
