Hand washing your car or truck really isn't very difficult. You should have the proper products and directions but when you've tried it a handful of times, you'll be detailing your vehicle like the pros. Let's go over the basic types of procedures.

You can find any of these materials at the local hardware or automotive parts store. Go ahead and ask the staff at the shops questions about their particular car wash products and solutions.

There are several car detailing tools and products which will be needed for you to properly hand wash your automobile. A pair of Three gallon buckets A pair of cleaning mitts Carwash cleaning soap Bug and tar eliminator Drying microfiber Rim cleaning brushes Rim cleaner Glass cleaner Wax Glass towels Window cleaner

The particular rim cleaning product that you're going with ought to have the needed instructions on the bottle. Utilize the brushes combined with the wheel cleaning solution that you purchased and you should be successful. Now that the wheels are looking great, let's move onto cleaning up the rest of the car.

The very first thing you should do will be to get all your cleaning buckets, mitts and items prepared to wash. Before you wash, you need to apply the insect and tar cleaner and then let it sit for a couple of minutes to loosen up the tar, residue, and bugs. The bugs and tar residue should really clean right up once you wash your car.

It is now time for you to wash the whole car. The purpose why you needed to buy two wash buckets is mainly because you'll use one for clean soap water and the other one to rinse your mitt off immediately after each and every area. Just place a wash mitt into the soapy water, thoroughly clean a section by implementing north, south, east and west motions, squeeze out the cleaning mitt in the rinse off bucket, dip the same mitt back inside the cleaning soap bucket and then repeat. You will need to start at the top of your car and then work your way down.

Chances are that you don't use completely purified water. You will need to dry the car using a good shammy before the water dries out or else you will have water spots on your newly washed car. Make sure to wash from the top to the bottom as you don't want to risk getting any remaining dirt or debris from the bottom half of your car getting on the drying microfiber and marring the paint on the top half.

What would a clean car do without clean windows? Just remember to get a good set of glass microfibers along with a quality, automotive safe, glass solution. Follow all the directions on the bottle and you will be all set.

Your vehicle is now in a position to get some good tire shine and a great coat of wax. If your ride already has wax on it, feel free to just use a spray wax.

You should now be confident enough to be detailing your car with the masters. Auto detailing really boils down to understanding your products and methods. It's in no way nuclear physics but it is a craft. Have a good time with your hobby!
