The best way to wash a black car?

What is the best way to hand-wash a new car (black) without scratching it? Checklist of supplies?

  • I'm not going to lie, this is my first brand new car. I've always run my car through car washes and never really taken the time to wash it myself. The dealer said not to ...show more

  • Answer:

    go buy yourself a new bucket and sponge and leather.(not synthetic) a good wash and wax liquid.(turtlewax) a good wax polish.(turtlewax) fill bucket with hand hot water adding wash and wax at three quarter so it mixes well. run out hose and thoroughly hose down car to remove all loose grit, sand etc. sponge car down with wash and wax using hand pressure. press a bit harder for stubborn bits. rinse and leather down. using two soft cloths(wax on wax off) polish car one panel at a time. do this on a regular basis and as the wax layers build on the car it will be easy to keep clean and will look new for a long time. never ever run your car through a carwash as this is the best way to ruin the paintwork.(just look at the cars of those who do) drive safe everybody.

Mother's products, and Meguire's are two brand names I have had good luck with. My best advice is to use Turtle Wax car wash solution which leaves a waxy finish. It comes out almost as good as a real wax job without the time and effort of waxing it. I am sure there are other product companies that have the wax finish so I suggest trying one. I too own a black car, and another peice of advice is to buy some terry cloth towels, or microfiber towels, andyhting that soaks up water without leaving lint behind, and drying your car right after you wash it. This will eliminate water stains which show up extremely well on black cars. Another tip on the car wash solution is to use a regular kind first, then go over it again with the waxy finish wash. In my experience the waxy finish makes it shine at the end, but is not at as good at getting dirt and grime off initially as the regular kind. Hope this helps. good luck, dont give up on black cars, they are a pain to keep clean, but look so incredible when they are!

i have a custom truck with a very valuable paint job and i use the mr.clean car wash system and a very soft and clean wash mitt. The system uses a filtered rinse so you at least don,t have to touch the car to dry it

A little dish soap and water with a soft terry clothe Wash in the shade Use a carnuba soft wax to wax it. Most wax is good. Make sure the wax is designed to be removed AFTER it dries or you will be in a world of hurt.
