Detailing 101 Series: Car Washing Procedure

CAR WASHING PROCEDURE

Now that we’ve discussed the tools for the job, let me just give you a rundown of how to wash your car or bike in a manner that gets it clean and reduces the chances of your putting swirls into the paint. 

• Always wash your vehicle in the shade! This will keep your car wash shampoo solution from drying on the vehicle before it is rinsed off. If at all possible, it is best to wash on a relatively calm day as even a slight breeze can put particles of dirt in the air. These dust particles are attracted to the wash/rinse water on your vehicle and act like sandpaper when rubbed between the drying towel and vehicle surface. The breeze will also tend to dry your vehicle for you and this can cause streaks and water spots.


• Use two buckets. One is for your shampoo solution and the other is clean rinse water for your wash mitt.
  
• Fill a bucket 2/3 full with cool water. Add recommended amount of shampoo to the water. Using a stiff jet of water, fill the bucket to fully activate suds. Fill the second bucket with clean, water for rinsing your wash mittt.
  
• Thoroughly rinse the vehicle’s surface to remove the loose dirt and grime before you begin your car wash procedure.
  
• Only use high quality car shampoos and wash mitts.


• When washing your car remember to always go from top-down direction, never the opposite. Generally the dirtiest parts of your vehicle are those parts closest to the ground. Wheel wells, rocker panels and bumpers tend to have the largest accumulation of grime and you don’t want to bring that junk back onto the paint surface and risk scratching it.
• Meanwhile, when washing your bike, it is wise to separate the car shampoo solution for body-paint surface and engine/wheel parts. Generally the dirtiest parts of your bike are those parts closest to the ground. When engine, wheels and velgs tends to have the largest accumulation of frime and you don't want to use a shampoo mixed up with that junk for your bike-fairing surface.
• 
  
• Load up your wash mitt with your car wash solution and wring it out over the wash surface. This acts like a “pre-soak” and helps loosen surface gunk. It also adds more sudsy water to the surface more lubricity to help safely wash the grime away without scratching.
  
• Keep your wash areas small and rinse your wash mitt frequently.
  
• Wash in straight, overlapping lines as opposed to circles and remember to be gentle with the wash mitt on the first pass. This first pass will pick up the majority of the dirt, and loosens the remaining dirt for pick up on the second pass.


• Rinse your vehicle by opening up your Fire Hose Nozzle to the open flow setting or by removing the nozzle if you don’t have an open flow option on your nozzle and let the water run or sheet over the surface instead of spraying. This helps in two ways. First, generally when water has “sheeted” off of a surface it tends to leave less residual droplets behind. This means less to drying time. Second, since there is less water to pick up, there is less chance of your leaving water behind to “spot” the vehicle.
  
• When you dry your car, use only high quality microfiber drying towels, such as Meguiar's Water Magnet or Meguiar's Ultimate Wipe and wring out often. Gently dry the surface without much pressure. You don’t need to rub the surface…you’re just picking up the bulk of the water! Once you have picked up the bulk of the water, and the first towel is saturated, use the second towel to lightly pick up any remaining streaks or droplets.


• Lastly, if your wax is still in good shape, go over the vehicle with a quick detail spray such as Meguiar's Last Touch spray Detailer to restore a radiance and slickness to the paint. This last step will give your vehicle that “just detailed” look by enhancing gloss and will also remove any missed drips, water spots or streaks that showed up when you weren’t looking.

Happy Washing

Detailing 101 Series: Drying Towel

We are back again in Detailing 101.

You’ve spent plenty of money the purchase of your bike, or car, now the question arises, ‘How do I take care of it?”. The answer is vital to retaining the value of your vehicle and reducing future costs due to premature deterioration.

Previously, we already write about Car Shampoo and Two Bucket Washing Technique. Now, we will explore tools and procedures in drying wet car or bike. The most popolar option for drying your vehicle is the synthetic PVA towels or what we known as chamois. The synthetic chamois hold a large amount of water, wring out easily, and last a very long time (for the high-quality ones). The drawback is that they are not soft and gentle enough.

We at Motor Bridal Salon recommend to use Microfiber drying towel, like Water weaffle drying towel, Meguiar's Water Magnet, etc. The drying towel are very soft, safe and effective. They absorbs tons of water and when used properly are extremely gentle on your vehicle surface. It generally takes only two towels to dry vehicle to ensure a spot and streak free finish. The first towel picks up the majority of water and the second towel picks up any residual moisture ensuring a streak free finish. For economic reason, you may also use the combination og high-quality PVA chamois and the drying towel. The first step is to pick up the water using PVA chamois with no pressure whiping, and then use the drying towel to remove any residual moisture left on the vehicle surface.

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Ultimate Wipe do the drying with excellent. It has a unique edgeless 40x40cm white hi-quality microfiber filamen.  

Our exprerience at the Motor Bridal found that Meguiar's Water Magnet also do the work greatly. It has a 40x60cm yellow microfiber but it less gently than the Ultimate Wipe
