It can save money to keep your car beauty by ‘DIY washing the car’. However, there are some wrong cases while washing the car you should know and do NOT let it happen.
Case 1: Use sponge with more pores to wash the car!
Rough sponge with more pores only applies for wheel rim, exhaust pipe and car body plastic trim.
When light color car become dirty, it is not easy to wash by using the fine texture sponge.
Please do NOT use the rough sponge to wash the car, it will get more grit and dust in the sponge. Even it will be easy to remove dirt, there are few scratches left on the car.
Case 2: Washing the car under the bright sun!
The best way to wash the car is to wash car body twice indoors or at the place with roof.
It is normally 37℃ to 38℃ in the summer time so that the temperature in the car will easily to get high over 50℃ to 60℃. It is hard to wash the car under this high temperature in summer. After applying the washing foam agent on the car, the foam will dry in a very short time before we wipe it. Then the foam has absorbed all the dirt again on the car. If we continue to wipe the foam, it means the dirt will get back to the whole car body again and the scratch will occur as well.
Case 3: It will cause SCRATCHES on the car if the car wash tools are NOT clean!
In the case of wax sponges or any car wash tools are not clean immediately after car washing, you may see a lot of dirt and impurity on the wash tools. When you use them to wash the car, it is much easier to make car body with lots of scratches.
You will need to wash the tools every time after finished car washing unless you often change car wash tools. This action can remove the dirt and impurity, and also reduce the scratches happening on the car again.
Case 4: ONLY use water to wash the car!
It never removes the redundant impurity on the car paint if we wash the car by using the water only. In addition, it may cause less glossy color on the car paint, not smooth, not long-lasting effect and easy to let scratches occur after waxing.
If you want to solve all these problems above, please wash the car deeply at fixed time that means clean the car thoroughly then use Clay Bar or Tar to put wax on the car paint for protection. To make your car paint always in a good condition is to make good car wax maintenance!
Case 5: Too often to use the CAR PROTECTANT makes scratches increase on the car!
There are many car owners who use car protectant to DIY their cars and the protectant included grindability. Although this grinding ingredient can remove the dirt on the light color car, it may cause scratches for long-term use.
Dust, dirt in the air and impurity in the rain often stick on the car paint. We need to choose right car protectant and use it at the right time to avoid scratches occurring and make our car clean and beautiful.
‘DIY Washing the car’ is charming that makes people willing to use a lot of time to wash their cars on holidays.
