After what seems to be a lifetime, here is the latest post in our blog entitled, “how to wash your car safely and avoid swirl marks and scratches”. In this post I will go through how to maintain your car by simply washing it, and is beneficial if you have just had your car detailed, or would simply like to keep on top of it. While the next set of instructions I am about to give you may seem over the top please bear with it as after a couple of washes the “safe wash process” becomes second nature and can actually speed up the wash process. First of all, the equipment.

What do I need to wash my car safely?

1. 2 x buckets – Click here to buy
2. Car shampoo – Click here to buy
3. High quality lambswool wash mitt – Click here to buy
4. High quality microfibre drying towel – Click here to buy
5. Preferably a pressure washer or if not a hose with adjustable pressure

What is the process?

1. Rinse the car thoroughly with water (or snow foam if you have a snow foam lance) trying to remove as much loose dirt from the car as possible.
2. Ensure your buckets are free from dirt and fill one with fresh water and the other with your suds. Use the correct dilution of shampoo as specified by the manufacturer. Using too much shampoo may be too strong and can strip wax off the car prematurely, using too little shampoo may not provide enough lubricity and may not be strong enough to remove the dirt.
3. Rinse the car off again to make sure that it is wet.
4. Start washing the car from the roof down. Dip your wash mitt in the suds, washing small sections at a time and once the dirt has been transfered to the wash mitt, dip it into the fresh water. This ensures that the dirt from the car is transfered into the fresh water rather than back into the bucket filled with suds. Use light even pressure and wash in straight lines rather than in circles.
5. Throughout the wash process, monitor the condition of the fresh water. Heavily soiled cars may require the water to be changed more than once if it becomes black with dirt.
6. Once the car has been thoroughly washed, rinse with your hose or pressure washer.
7. Dry the car using the drying towel. Gently pat the car with the drying towel to avoid dragging any loose particles of dirt over the paintwork.
8. The safe wash process is complete!
