Living in Charlotte, you’re probably getting tired of all the pollen. You’ve probably been having a difficult time finding your car because
it looks like it’s a totally different color than it was yesterday. With the
pollen count being as high as it is right now, your car is struggling to stay
clean and getting a car wash can get pretty expensive. Have you ever thought to
clean your vehicle yourself? While it may seem intimidating at first, it’s
actually very easy to give your car a thorough wash without making breaking the
bank on an expensive wash. Toyota of N Charlotte is here with an easy guide on the
art of the car wash and how you can get the best clean possible.
1) See if you really need a car wash
Before you unravel the hose, bust
out the bucket, and start soaping the sponges, you should probably check to
make sure you actually need to all the way with your car washing. Depending on how
much dirt and grime is on your vehicle, you may not have to scrub and soap your car for hours and may just need a simple waxing. Make sure to evaluate your N
Charlotte Toyota vehicle before starting your car wash.
2) Read the labels
Even if you’re well versed in the
washing of cars, sometimes you can forget about where and how to use certain washing
products. Properly applying products is essential to a perfect wash so make
sure you always read the labels.
3) The two/three bucket system
Washing dishes and even washing
yourself in a bath tub reminds us why we should always use a two or three bucket
system during a car wash. Soaking and soaping sponges into the same bucket
after they’ve been wiping away grime and dirt on your N Charlotte Toyota car
can lead to a collection of dirt on your cleaning supplies that gets reapplied
to the vehicle throughout the wash. Having two rinsing buckets and a soap bucket
will ensure a thorough clean without simply exchanging dirt.
4) Rinse and then wash
Before you take a sponge to the
paint, make sure to give your N Charlotte vehicle a good rinsing first. This
will loosen up the dirt and grime on the paint and make washing much easier.
5) Check for scratches and tough blemishes
Some scratches and blemishes can
be tough to remove. If your car wash revealed a few in your car’s paint, our N
Charlotte Toyota auto service techs recommend using a claybar for buffing.
6) Wash your windows and tires
Having a clear view is absolutely
important when driving to stay safe and observe your surroundings effectively.
Use a glass specific cleaner to wipe away dirt from your windshield and windows.
For your vehicle’s tires, make sure to use a cloth or flexible sponge to really
get between the spokes of the wheels and use a tire shine to complete the look.
