How to wash the car on your own?

There are several ways to wash the car - by yourself, taking a rag and bucket; at the car wash; with the help of a mini-wash; and at the self-service wash. We will consider in detail the latter option. The advantages of this method are obvious - it's speed of washing and low cost. Regulars of such washes cope with cleaning the car in 10-15 minutes, spending on it only 20 UAH. If you stand at least an hour on such a sink and watch how drivers wash their cars, you can see dozens of different ways to clean the car. But how can I clean the car? Answering this question will help an employee of such a washing.

How to start washing?

Washing begins with the car entering the sink, choosing the right place - strictly in the center of the sink. The machine should be centered so that there is enough room during the cleaning process for the circular movement, together with the tool. Next come carpets - passenger, driver's and rear car mats. Rugs are hung on clothespins on a special panel, where they can be washed when they are in a vertical state. You can wash them though with foam, at least without foam - whatever you like.

2 gold rules for washing - do not apply foam on the hot body and do not let the foam wither on the body.

In practice, a normally-tuned workflow allows you to clean the car qualitatively, having stood it under the foam for 1 to 2 minutes. No longer required. It is best to wash the car when it is not hot, and when there are no thick layers of dirt on it.

It is best to foam a car on a dry, that is, without water. On a dry car foam keeps better, it works more actively, it separates dirt better. The only time when you can aggressively use water is when the car is very dirty, straight with sticky pieces of dirt on the arches, wheels, thresholds. And then, the mud gets confused locally, only in these places, the rest of the car does not urinate. Stuck pieces of dirt must be knocked down due to the fact that through them the foam does not penetrate and simply can not properly affect the dirt.

Types of car washing

The machine can be washed in different ways:

• To knock the dust. If the car, in general-clean, just a few days covered with a small layer of dust, you can not carry out a full car wash, and just knock down the dust. It is better to do this not just with water, but with water from the osmosis purification system.
• Standard washing. This method is used if the car has a normal temperature regime and you just need to wash it to make it clean. For this, foam and water are used under pressure. Nothing else. First, on a dry car you need to apply a layer of foam, wait a couple of minutes for the foam to begin to interact with the dirt and then wash off the foam with a powerful head of water.
• Antimidge. It is practiced when the car came from the track, all in mosquitoes, or in resin falling from trees. Unlike the first method, the "Antimidge" solution is additionally used here. It is applied first. After this, as in a standard sink, a foam is applied and then washed off with water.
• Waxing. After any washing, you can additionally process the car with wax. This accelerates the drying process by about 50%. This is achieved due to the water-repellent properties of the wax. In addition, the wax protects the car's varnish from ultraviolet radiation and works as an anti-rain. After processing the machine with wax, you also need to go through osmosis to drain excess wax. Since after drying, the wax is left behind by a greasy film.
• Osmosis. The final washing with purified water from the osmosis system is effective in that when drying does not leave traces of dried droplets. It is recommended to use always for the final washing of the car body. Believe me — it works. ;)

What to do after washing?

So, after washing the car, you need to wait until the car dries. If the weather is windless and does not raise dust, and when washing was used wax and osmosis, enough to ride a few minutes at a speed within the urban cycle and the remnants of water will disappear.

Well, if the sink was without the above means, or you do not hurry, then it is desirable to dry out in the sun. And while the body dries, you can remove the excess water from the glass, for this we recommend to use special waterworks. Do not collect excess water with a rag. Even if you are sure of the absolute purity of your rag, it is not necessary to rub the glass, because there is a great chance to contaminate the glass. Also, do not try to wash the body of the machine with a rag, as it is fraught with subsequent polishing of the body, and it costs an average of 1500 UAH.

Even if you are sure of the absolute purity of your rag, it is not necessary to rub the body and glass.

After waiting until the car dries, made sure that there were no stains, you can go on business. Also, if you still can not go to the car wash and professionally wash the car, and drive a clean car you want — you can use a high-pressure mini-wash and an auto-vacuum cleaner to clean the cabin.
