The 2-Bucket System 

Many detailers employ a two-bucket wash technique. The first bucket contains soapy water, and the second contains rinse water. The second bucket is used to rinse your sponge or mitt before soaking it in soapy water. There are two practical advantages to using this strategy. Firstly, it prevents dirt and grit from getting into your soapy water, which can cause damage while washing your car. Secondly, it extends the life of the suds in your soapy water.

Don’t Forget To Wash Tires and Wheels First

Most car owners often wash the car body first before washing their tires and wheels. It is a common mistake that you should avoid making. If you do this, your car will have spots since the water will dry before you finish washing your tires and wheels. In addition, you need to use different wash water on your car's paint. Empty your buckets and replace the filthy water. However, you need to keep in mind that If your wheels and tires are still hot from driving, do not clean them. Allow them to cool on their own. Similarly, if your brakes are heated, splashing them with cold water may cause them to fail.

Use an Appropriate Soap

You cannot use all the types of soap that you keep in your garage. It is crucial to determine the chemicals and other ingredients in your soap before applying it to your car exterior surfaces. We use high-quality automobile washing soaps that are incredibly mild on paint, plastic, and rubber. This is important for preserving and protecting your car's paint.

The best mobile wash soap should contain enough lubricant to prevent scratching and conditioners from keeping the paint looking shiny. The qualities you need to look for in a wash shampoo include a great amount of suds, proper lubrication, free-rinsing, and an incredible sheen effect that makes the car look freshly waxed.

Use an Excellent Wash Mitt

Your choice of vehicle wash mitt is critical to the overall outcome of your car wash. Even though many car owners prefer to purchase a wash mitt that is comfortable for them to use, you need to add a few other factors in mind. Your wash mitt should be able to contain or absorb a lot of soapy water. The more it absorbs, the more soapy water you can get on your mobile.

Car Drying Tips 

Discard the nozzle from your hose and set the pressure on medium level. Allow water to flow freely over the surface of your car when rinsing it, but do not directly spray it. To dry the parts of the car, use a clean drying towel. Begin from the top and work your way down.

If you are using a large drying towel, spread it across the flat surface areas of the vehicle and slowly bring it toward you. Do not forget to shake and squeeze your drying towel frequently. When wiping, fold your towel into a square to avoid staining.
