Car washing may seem like a simple task, but there are many occasions where you may be doing more harm than good for your vehicle. That is why, in today’s blog, we will be sharing exactly how to NOT wash your car.
DO NOT Use Just Any Cloth or Sponge:
You can not pick up any old cloth or sponge to scrub away at your car with. Traditional kitchen sponges will be far too abrasive and could cause direct damage to your car’s paint or its protective coating.
When selecting the right sponges and cloths to use on your car try to locate a natural sponge or a wash mitt made of microfiber. You can also find these available in sheepskin.
These options will not give your paint any scratches and can pull in loads of suds, which will enhance the entire cleaning process!
Don’t Skip A Rinse:
Before you begin cleaning your car you will want to give it a good rinse. A rookie mistake is diving right in with your sponge – ready to scrub away.
This can be harmful because of the grit that will be living on the surface of your car. If you don’t give it a chance to be washed away you may end up driving it into the paint of your car creating more damage.
Step Away From The Fairy Liquid:
It is a common household item, and it works wonders on your grubby dishes, but it is not the right option for your car!
Any type of washing up liquid is designed to break down hard to get build ups and cut through grease. However, it is also strong enough to break down your car wax and dry out plastic mouldings.
Make sure you take some time and fo some research when you are selecting the right type of cleaning product.
