Before we talk in detail about wash or vacuum car first. First, let me help you understand when you need it. We often receive questions like these:
There are many way to clean a car. And, cleaning your car regularly is a great way to keep your ride looking shiny and new. But, just one mistake using the wrong products, you can have a scratch. Even wrong tools or cleaning techniques can scratch your beautiful paint job, too.
While professional car detailing services make life easy. Many car owners prefer doing it on their own. If you love your car enough to clean it yourself, you need to learn the right way to do it.
An important thing to know is where to start the cleaning process. Some people would say it is best to start from the interior. While others think it is better to clean the exterior first. So who is right?
Well, we do think both of them are right. Because they have their own thought. Let’s check some thing you might concern:
Your car’s condition is crucial to determine if you should you clean inside or outside of car first. This depends on the level of dirtiness.
You don’t want to mess up with very dirty surfaces over time, right? If you can walk around and look at the car. You see it in detail quickly. Sometimes if your car is really filthy on the outside, you’d better start with the outside.
Start with the grimiest part of the vehicle. Usually, it is the exterior that is affected far more than the interior. If that is the case, start with exterior cleaning, but if the interior is filthier somehow, start with that.
Most people don’t realize how important is the place you choose. In car detailing shop, we have a controlled room with proper lighting system and temperature. But you don’t have this conditions at home. And sometimes you want to clean your car quickly at your car park. They are all different situations.
The primary reason is visibility.
When car sits in your apartment complex, it becomes challenging to spot all the dirt, grime, and imperfections on your car’s surface. Why? Because spaces are often treated as either limited common elements with exclusive use rights for unit owners or as separate units with fee simple title, allowing for sale or rental. You don’t have extra parking space to clean exterior of the car. The best choice here is inside cleaning of car.
FACT: Invest in bright, portable work lights to illuminate your car properly. It will save you tons of time.
When you have an open car park, you can examine your car thoroughly during the day. And, you can identify areas that need attention later.
Yep. Let’s be realistic. We consider this is the most important thing nowadays.
Why?
Because we don’t have enough time to do all things we want. That’s why you will need a professional detailing service like us. Some people loves cars. And they want to do it. Can you spend all day just to clean small crevices in car?
We don’t think so.
Automatic car washes are a convenient way of making a car look presentable. And regular detailing services is and upgrade to make your car clean and shiny.
Just the water and cleaning products you use may not dry effectively. It will lead to streaks or water spots. Detailing kits can also save you money in the long run. But you have to invest in before cleaning car.
Another thing to consider is where you keep these kits. You don’t want to put all kits in your car, right?
Cleaning your car yourself can be a cost-effective and rewarding way to maintain its appearance and protect its value. But if you spend more time enjoying the drive, don’t mess up with cleaning car.
Car paint doesn’t get damaged by getting dirty. It gets damaged by getting cleaned. If you notice all these scratches all the time, you are an OCD now. But don’t worry because we are on the same page. That’s why we are detailers.
I could have told you that it’s a very different condition. It’s known as “Obsessive Car Disorder.” As you began to talk to us about the symptoms, it all became very clear that you needed to do something about it. You will need detailers like us.
If you have plenty of time, or you are not satisfy with these above suggestions on interior and exterior car cleaning at home. It’s time for a professional car detailing services.
We know there are many order of cleaning in car detailing. Some are simple, others are complicated. We have several articles on specific operations in auto detailing. However, in this article, we will follow these Step-by-Step hand wash as follows:
Cleaning on an empty stomach or when exhausted will make the job much harder. A good teamwork can save time and effort later. And we will break down the cleaning tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks.
Why?
Because as a professional auto detailer, we must develop a system that allows us to be as effective and thorough as possible. We want you to get the best results as expected. But finding a balance between speed and quality is not always easy.
We often focus on the most important areas first. As these are the top priorities request by customer. We also create a cleaning schedule that spreads the remaining tasks out over a few hours.
Gather all supplies you need. That’s why we need your car inspection to give a quote. We must know what exactly the problem. Having everything we need on hand will save us time and get the job done properly.
Most people don’t realize how gentle we need to be with their car to ensure that all the protective layers and paint remain intact. In order to ensure that your washing routine prevents scratching, we have some hand wash packages to wash and protect your car.
We always use a pre-cleaner. These chemicals are specifically formulated with cleaning properties to safely but effectively lessen road grime. Skipping this pre-rinse is like inviting a scratch-fest on your car paint.
Our goal here at EZ is to remove these contaminants and restore your paint’s original luster. So, stubborn road grime is our enemy. But we need to wash your car properly in order to preserve the integrity and good looks of your vehicle’s paintwork, and minimize surface scratching. And it’s take a lot of time to get the job done.
Most popular car wash & detailing are heavily depend on strong cleaner chemicals. We are not like that.
Snow foam helps to break down any stubborn dirt. It also removes any loose particles from the vehicle, before the physical contact wash stage.
But it will take more time, right?
Sure! Removing as much dirt as possible before contact washing will help to reduce the likelihood of inflicting swirl marks to the paint finish. Because most swirls are caused at the wash stage.
We will have a pressure washer for cars each step. This way will give your car a good spray-down to blast away all that loose dirt and debris.
We use a good-quality car shampoo and Merino wool wash mitt in this step. And washing from top down small sections at a time.
Give it a good scrub against the dirt trap to flush out all that nasty stuff through the cyclone funnels, trapping it beneath the screen.
Then, wring out the mitt on the ground to release any loose dirt particles. And diving it back into the soapy bucket for another round on your car. This method ensures our guys don’t contaminate the wash solution. And we are always using clean, de-ionized wash water on your car.
No water spots are allowed here!
We will dissolve any ferrous contamination such as industrial fall out and rail dust that has fused itself to the paintwork. We also apply our bug and tar remover to the affected areas.
Gliding clay lubricant with a fresh clay bar will effectively shaving off any remaining contaminations.
Then wash and rinse again. Repeat!
Rinse the car thoroughly that won’t leave any sudsy surprises behind before drying the car.
Then, final touch-up and wipe down with a quick detailer will finish off all the previous hard work. We suggest short term or long term protection for your vehicles. And to prevent dust build up on your paint. It depends on your time and the way you use your car. Our detailers will give you some choices:
Yes, we do. Just drop us a message via Whatsapp at 035 499 6491 (English). We will contact you shortly.
Yes, this happen most of the times. Sometimes, you are too hurry to follow these steps. You can also use the wrong car wash detailing kit.
The common problem is using dirty tools and mistakes in car wash techniques.
Yes, we do. We have a powerful air compressor. Much more air and force are needed to move the dust particles.
But we will follow a gentle wash and cleaning first. Later, our detailers use compressed air for blowing away remaining water spot sand dust particles from the air.
Yes, this sometimes happen if you do not used correctly.
The problem is the strength of car wash cleaners.
The most powerful wheel cleaners have low pH values. Acidic wheel cleaners are heavily concentrated products that almost always require dilution. And they are designed for heavily embedded brake dust and debris that stick within your rim’s clear coat. As acid is highly corrosive, if you’re using these in your driveway you should consider the potential risk to yourself. You must take extra care to ensure you do not inhale the product or get any on your skin.
We do not recommend to use heavy concentrated car wash chemicals at home.
