                        Proper Washing Tips

You would be surprised how much good you can do your car's
finish just by washing it. Aside from maintaining the oil and
keeping a coat of wax or sealant on the surface, routine
washing is the most beneficial treatment you can give your
vehicle.

Armed with a bucket and hose, here are the proper steps to
make car washing easier:

1.  If possible, work in the shade, out of direct sunlight.
Elevated paint temperatures cause the wash and rinse water
to evaporate too quickly, increasing the likelihood of water
spotting.

2.  Start by preparing a bucket with a car wash shampoo and
wash the wheels first. This prevents you from splattering
cleaners, dirt and brake dust on already cleaned panels.

In addition to oily, road grime, wheels get coated with black,
metallic, dust particles every time you brake. Car wash
shampoos alone may not have the power to remove this
baked-on combination. Many inexpensive wheel cleaners use
an acid or petroleum solvent to dissolve this bonded
contamination but these cleaners can stain alloy and anodized
wheels.
