Zappone CJDR’s Guide On How To Wash Your Car

  • Wash your car on your lawn so any water runoff will be absorbed by the grass which is better for the environment.
  • Wet down your vehicle, thoroughly. All you need is a little sprinkle of water to rid your vehicle of any loose dirt or debris that have made your vehicle home. If you skip this step, expect scratches on your vehicle.
  • Don’t use detergent or dish soap. There are many automotive soaps out there which are usually pH-controlled and have gloss enhancers. Use soaps designed specifically for your vehicle, not household soaps that can cause damage to your vehicle.
  • Wash your vehicle one section at a time and top to bottom. This will prevent dry soapy spots from forming on your vehicle..
  • Don’t let your vehicle dry in the sun, a shady spot or a garage will prevent water spots from forming on your vehicle.
  • Spend the extra few minutes drying your vehicle completely to avoid water spots.
