Well I decide today on a sunny Sunday afternon to relax and clean the vehicle. As you know if you wnat your car to keep looking new and take care of it to its most potential and keep the paint looking fresh, tires clean and rims glossy shiny I found a way to keep your car lookign this way! Its how I keep my car clean on a weekly basis. he most it ill take you to do this work is about 2-3 hours depending on the weather if its nice warm and shady, it will take less time due to heat. here are the steps:
the car after a week of driving over 300 miles. Bug juice o nthe front bumper and windshield and tons of nasty brake dust
1. get the products. If you want to get some good products for a good price and plan on spending on less than 150 dollars. Some of the best place to go is Costco and Autozone. Good prices thats why. Here is hte products i use on a weekly basis.
2. Always clean your rims first. This wil lprevent from the wheel debris going back on the paint. Next use a good wheel and tire cleaner. I use Eagle One All Wheel and Tire Cleaner. Its the best to get rid of tough brake dust. Spary on the rim and tire and let it settle for about 30 seconds. Only do one tire at a time.
After that now get the pressure hose and blast that brake dust off the rims. Now you have clean rims!
3. Now pre-rinse the car well
4. Soaping the is the fun part of this. I use Kit soap since it gently removes grim and bug juice easily. pour about 4 teaspoons in a 2 gallon bucket.
Then throw in the microfiber washmitt into the bucket and fill it up with water and agitate the saop into the mitt.
Now soap the car!
After the car is done use the remaining soap and water in your bucket and use the wheel brush to get the remaining brake dust that didint completly come off from the degreaser. Makes sure htat the rims is pretty clean.
5. Rinse all that soap off the car so it doesnt leave water spots!
6. Drying is the hardest part of cleaning a car. I use a California water blade to get most of the water off so it save me time instead of using lots of towels.
After most of the water is gone wipe the remaing water with microfiber towls on the car, windows, rims, and door jambs.
7. Tire Dressing- I use Armor All Extreme Tire Gel- It gives it that glossy showroom look. I put some gel o nthe applicator and rub all over the tire. Make sure to wipe off remaing excess on the rim or on the edge of the tires.
before putting on the gel
after the gel settles in for 5 minutes
8- vacumming carpets and interior, a good old vacm cleaner does the trick in jsut doing a weekly vacumming on hte carpets, seat, and panels.
9. Leather treatment-This should be down at least once a month if your car sits outside during the day. Use the cleaner first to remove dirt and grim from the seats. it purifies the leather. After cleaning it apply the conditioner. It restores the leather and gives it back that new smell when you bought it!
After taht, Voila!!!! A clean new looking car to appreciatee for at least a week.
I hoped this helped some of you who are into cleanign your car or want to learn how to clean it! Hope you enjoyed looking and learning!!!
