How to wash your car with no paint damage?

Getting Started

We recommend that you park your car, truck, or any vehicle in the shade. It's also possible to wash your car in the shade, either early in the morning or later in the afternoon, if the sun isn't directly shining on your vehicle.

This will prevent the sun from drying your car's soapy water. These soap spots can be quite a problem to remove. They also make the exterior look horrible. Place your grit protections in the buckets. Attach the connector to your hose. Fill your buckets full of water. Add the shampoo recommended on the bottle to one bucket.

Why add the water first? The shampoo should be added after the water. This will ensure that the bucket doesn't get clogged up with suds as you fill it.

Mix the shampoo with the wash mitt. Instead of using the hose, fill your wash bucket with warm tap water. The suds are not as strong in cold water.

Contrary to what popular belief says, soapy water does not require suds to clean.

Wheels first

Why should wheels be first?

There are two ways to look at this. This prevents water spotting and drying of the rest the car while you're washing your wheels. The second is that you don't want to scrub the rest of your car with brake dust or grime, then spray it all over.

Warning: Be sure to cool your brakes and wheels before you wash them. It's not a good idea if you spray cool water on hot metal. Your wash water should not dry before you can rinse.

To begin, spray the hose on your tires, wheels, and wheel wells. Your wheels and tires are the most dangerous parts of your car.

Top Down

Next, use the hose to spray down all of the vehicle's parts, beginning at the top and moving forward from the front.

Spray the roof and windows first. Next, spray the trunk, front bumpers, doors, as well as back bumper because dirt tends to be most stubborn on the lower rearward panels.

Drying

If water is still accumulating on your car after it has been waxed, you can remove the nozzle and flood your panels with water.

Also, start from the top.

You'll see the water start to sheet, and it will pull most of its own water off the panels. Grab your towel. A waffle weave microfiber towel is our preferred choice. Dry your car in back-and-forth strokes. Avoid drying in circles. In the event of an accident scratch, lines are much easier to remove from your vehicle than circles.

It's easiest to dry the vertical panel first, such as the windows, doors, and fenders. They have the most water on them. Next, clean up any water from the horizontal panels (hood and roof).
