How to Clean Car Outer Body
Materials You’ll Need
- Car wash soap
- Water
- Bucket
- Sponge or wash mitt
- Car drying towel
- Wax (optional)
Steps
1. Rinse the Car
First, rinse the car to remove any loose dirt or debris. Use a hose with a nozzle that can reach all areas of the car.
2. Wash the Car
Add car wash soap to a bucket of water and mix well. Dip a sponge or wash mitt into the soapy water and wash the car from top to bottom. Be sure to get all of the nooks and crannies. Rinse the sponge or wash mitt frequently to remove dirt and debris.
3. Dry the Car
Use a clean car drying towel to dry the car. Start by drying the roof and then move on to the sides and back. Be sure to get all of the water off the car to prevent water spots.
4. Wax the Car (Optional)
Applying wax to your car will help protect it from the elements and keep it looking shiny. Apply wax to a clean, dry car. Use a sponge or applicator pad to apply the wax in a circular motion. Allow the wax to dry for a few minutes and then buff it off with a clean microfiber cloth.
Tips
- Wash your car in the shade to prevent the soap from drying on the car.
- Use a soft sponge or wash mitt to avoid scratching the car’s paint.
- Rinse the car thoroughly after washing to remove all of the soap.
- Dry the car immediately after washing to prevent water spots.
- Wax your car every few months to protect it from the elements and keep it looking shiny.
Conclusion
Cleaning your car’s outer body is a fairly simple task that can be done in a few hours. By following these steps, you can keep your car looking its best.
