How to dry your car

The achieve the best results follow these steps:


Pre-Rinse: Start by giving your car a good rinse with water to remove all loose dirt and debris. This will prevent you scratching the surface during further washing.

Mix Your Car Wash: Mix your car wash shampoo with water in a clean bucket. 

Start Washing: Use a high quality car wash mitt. Start from the top of the car and work down, washing in sections. This method prevents dirt from the lower parts of the car being transferred to cleaner areas.

Use Two Buckets: Consider having a second bucket on hand to rinse your wash mitt. Having separate buckets for your soap suds and rinsing reduces the chances of moving dirt back onto the car.

Rinse Again: After washing each section, rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Ensure no suds remain on the surface and that can create spotting and swirl marks.

Wash In The Shade: If possible, avoid washing your car in direct sunlight as this will cause your car to dry too quickly, which again will likely cause water spots.
