The time constraints levied by today’s fast paced life coupled with the convenience offered by professional car washes which are springing up in every nook and corner has reduced the need and necessity of washing your car at home. However there are still certain people who find time to give their car a personal clean up every few days for only this would give them utmost satisfaction.

In fact you could turn the car washing process at home into a fun activity by involving your kids on a weekend. There are certain things to be considered before you start off.

 

Proper procedure of washing your car at home

 

Take a note of the weather conditions prevailing on the day you intend to wash your car. It’s advisable to avoid this process on a windy or extremely hot day. The reason is that these conditions would cause the water to dry up prematurely before you wipe it out yourself. This would lead to water spots on the vehicle. Likewise be careful not to park your car in direct sunlight which will again cause the same problem. Choose a shaded part of your home to park your car.

Keep all things necessary for the wash close by including a bucket, car wash detergent taken in the right quantity etc. Make sure your hose is fastened with a spray nozzle and as a first step wet your car thoroughly with it. Never run a strong jet of water on your car as it might result in scratches over the paintwork.

Apply a sponge or 100% cotton cloth which you keep exclusively for this purpose on the car after dipping it in detergent. Never use towel rags or other pieces of used cloth for cleaning your car as they may carry dirt from previous usage which will be transferred to the car body.

Start washing from the top of the vehicle going round it and touching the lower areas as well. Rinse out your wash cloth or sponge in water frequently. Never allow the soap to dry up on the paintwork since it might leave blotches. Wash thoroughly the lathered section before you move on to the next.

Ensure that the car is left wet all through the wash process. The drying procedure should be done by you with your cloth. If left to dry on its own, spots might appear.

Deal with the lower body last together with the tires. Using another wash cloth or sponge for these parts is recommended as they tend to be the dirtiest. You can use a brush with steel wool for the tires to scrub off all the grime. A circular wheel type brush can be used to clean the openings in the wheel plates.

Lastly dry the car with clean cloth.Tips to ensure a safe and economical home wash

 

car wash equipment Installation facility. Taking this into consideration always use a hose sprayer with a lever that shuts out the water when you let go.

Never use detergent soap which will destroy all the sheen and luster of the paintwork.

Use glass cleaner for the windows and microfiber towels to dry them which will get them sparkling.

Use a damp cloth to clean bird droppings or bugs which ideally should be done as soon as they are spotted.

If you intend to give a wax coating use a clay bar by following the necessary instructions before you start the process to clean any stray dirt or dust remaining embedded in the paint work after the wash.Environmental Considerations

Professional Car Wash Systems centers are forced to abide with environmental laws and regulations. A home wash on the other hand produces a lot of waste water and effluents which flow into the nearby drains and eventually into rivers and lakes thereby polluting the water. Make sure you use a biodegradable soap to wash your car.

Make a habit of washing your car on your lawn or over mud and not in your drive way so that all the toxic water is absorbed.Is It really Feasible

Numerous are the arguments that have been raised against home car washes. A home car wash is supposed to use almost double the amount of water compared to a professional car wash equipment. Also these centres’s reuse water. They are known to be eco-friendly.

But automated car washes are not without their faults. Some high pressure washes prove to be damaging to the car. Besides there are some people who thoroughly enjoy the entire process of hand washing their car and cannot be bothered to dole out extra money to a professional agency.

When you wash your car at home, the water usage is in fact more compared to a professional
