Every day we receive hundreds of messages through our different social networks asking what is the best way to wash the car or motorcycle.❓
The truth is that there is no single correct way to clean your vehicle, but we can give you some little tricks to get the most out of it when you do it. Here are 3 little tips that will completely change the results of your wash:
1. DO NOT USE PRE-WASH MODE - USE A PROFESSIONAL WASHING SHAMPOO
We fully understand the convenience of taking your car to a car wash and using the “Pre-wash” mode, but if you are as fanatic about car cleaning as we are, you will know that it is not the best option. 🚫
Whether you want to achieve a specific cleaning or a general wash, it is always advisable to use specific professional products . In this case, to perform the pre-wash, we recommend using a Snow Foam Shampoo , a foam that creates a dense layer that completely covers the vehicle.
With this type of shampoo, you will be able to soften and remove the most difficult dirt that usually accumulates on the bodywork over the weeks: dust, grease, excrement, insect remains, etc. 🦟
2. DON'T USE A KITCHEN CLOTH - USE A MICROFIBER TOWEL
You've just used your entire collection of favorite detailing products. Happy and with your car like new, you've finished cleaning but you haven't dried the bodywork or the windows, and you're thinking about doing it with the kitchen cloth . MISTAKE! 🚨
Using specific products to clean your car and drying it with a cloth is like eating the best 60-day aged steak and putting ketchup on it. 👎
By using microfibre towels you will avoid scratching your car's paint and ending up having to polish it, as they are designed to attract dirt and absorb liquids , thus preventing you from dragging any dirt left after cleaning and creating stains due to the lime deposits in the water used.
3. DO NOT SPRAY TOO CLOSE - IT NEBULIZES THE PRODUCT
If you're a true detailing fanatic, you've probably felt like crying over your friend's car paint when they apply a product or the pressure washer just a few inches from the bodywork.
Above all, when you are going to use wax products such as a body polish , a product with a high carnauba wax content or a water and dust repellent , it is very important that you do not spray too close to the body to avoid a patchy result.
By misting the product over the area you will achieve a much more uniform finish, spread the product much better around your entire body and apply it more easily . So the next time you see your friend spraying the product at the distance he would like to be from his crush, remember our tips.
These are the little tricks that can make your vehicle's cleaning completely better and 100% effective using your usual products. Most of the time, you don't need to make a bigger investment and buy more products or accessories, but rather know how to get the most out of what you are already using.
