How to Wash a Car

One of the most important skills that I feel apply to teenagers when comes down to vehicles is knowing how to wash a car. In addition to making your vehicle look better, having a clean car actually helps keep your paint job in a good condition for longer periods of time. This is because having dirt on the surface of your car actually deteriorates the clear coat of paint that comes with the car. To get this job done properly, just follow these simple steps:
1) Put some car soap (the amount depends on the size of the vehicle) and a sponge into a large bucket
2) Fill the bucket, containing the soap and sponge, with water
3) Spray the entire vehicle down with a hose
4) Using the wet sponge, cover the entire vehicle with soap (don’t forget about the wheel’s and side-view mirrors)
5) Spray all of the soap off using a hose
6) Dry the vehicle down with a shop rag
7) Don’t forget to dry inside the doors, hood, and trunk in order to prevent rusting in these areas
Extra Notes:
-Avoid getting water into the vehicle’s exhaust pipe
-You can also use a squeegee in order to help remove a lot of the water after you spray the car down for the final time
-Some recommended car wash soap brands include Turtle Wax, ArmorAll, and Meguiars.
