5 Tips For Properly Washing Your Car Exterior

5/13/2018

​Washing your car’s exterior seems straight to the point and simple enough. Right? But, are you aware that there are things that you could be doing that might be doing more harm than good to your car? Here are some tips to help you properly wash your car.
​WASH YOUR CAR WEEKLY
You might think it is excessive to wash your car once every week, but it is important. Some even wait a long time for all the dirt and grime to and accumulate on the surface, before washing it. Washing your car once every week will save you time and effort from removing dust, bugs, pollutants and acid rain that hardened over time on the surface of your car’s paint.
Always remember to give your car a rinse, after an acid rain. It will prevent permanent scarring on the paint.
 
WASH IN RIGHT TEMPERATURE
It is advisable to not wash your car in the heat or at high temperatures. Washing on a hot day would not only be tough, but it could also cause deposits which would later damage the paint. Keep the car cool and park it in the shade.
 
PREPARE PROPER TOOLS AND SUPPLIES
Only use cleaning products that are specifically made for cars. These products are gentle on your paint. You will need a large sponge, a bucket and a hose with running water.  The sponge will help avoid leaving scratches. It’s important to remember to rinse your car with a hose because there is a chance of working grit and scratching the paint.
 
WORK ON ONE AREA AT A TIME
Choose an area on your car where you want to start. Wash, rinse and dry it, before moving to another section. Have you noticed a distracting swirl mark on your car when you wash it? It can be easily avoided by moving your sponge in straight lines rather than working in circular motions.
 
WAX YOUR CAR BI-ANNUALLY
Contrary to popular belief, waxing does not damage your car’s finish. It helps protect your car’s paintwork and maintain its value. Waxing your car twice a year is an absolute minimum. It prevents abrasions acquired from constant wash and weather. Applying wax also gives your car a nice gloss and brilliant shine that can last a year.

With all the effort and work you have done, you can now be confident that your car’s stunning exterior would last for a long time. Your car is one of your most valued investment and should always be cared and protected. Secure it with the best auto insurance. At Robert Nichols Insurance Group, we take pride in making sure that our clients are well-protected at prices they can afford.

Washing the vehicle's exterior is obligatory for keeping the aesthetic allure of the speed machine in the gilt-edged order. If I am not wrong, I think it is your convertible who's looks says everything about your personality. If it looks filthy, no matter, how expensive your possession is, nobody wants to disburse a moment in giving a glance at your intermediary. That does not mean, interior cleaning is insignificant. Obviously not. But when it comes to increasing the trade in value of road companion and keeping your roadster's paint finish in the pristine form, exterior washing is a must. Hope, every car parent should take my words seriously. Thank you :)

Wash and wax of the vehicle are really essential to protect the paint job of the vehicle from different kind of contaminants. Contaminants like dust particles, pollen, acid rain could affect the paint job of the vehicle. So, the vehicle should be properly washed to remove such contaminants. Apart from this, adding a wax cover acts as an extra layer of protection.

Washing your vehicle's exterior will remove dust and dirt and I think it is one of the most crucial reasons to perform this endeavor. If you don't wash your car exterior on a regular basis, then you can't protect your vehicle's paintwork. Systematic execution of this maintenance assignment will preserve your vehicle's resale value. So, as a car owner, you can't leave this cleaning commotion undone, especially when you want to prevent unsightly scratches.

Car cleaning is necessary to make the car clean and shiny. Car washing is also helpful to prevent contaminants like dust, dirt, pollen, tree sap, bug guts, salt, air borne pollutants from adhering to the vehicle. It is important to wash and rinse the dirt from underneath the car and from wheel wells. We should put a coat of wax or polish on the car to make it not only shine, but to protect it from dirt, debris and sun which can cause damage. Along with car’s exterior we should also clean the car’s interior. Many car experts recommend to wash the car once a week to make it free from contaminants.
