Whether you’re an enthusiast who takes pride in keeping your car clean and well maintained, or you own a car dealership and are looking for top cleaning products to keep your vehicles in top shape— it’s worth learning how to clean the exterior of a car properly, using biodegradable car exterior cleaner.
So, what’s the best cleaner for a car exterior, and what are the best cleaning techniques for car washing? Read on to find out.
First off, drive your car to a shady spot if it’s a hot day. A cooler surface on which to work means suds won’t dry out too quickly while you’re cleaning. Perform a pre-soak with cold or warm water to get rid of any large bits of dirt.
Start with the roof and go from top to bottom, allowing the soapy water to drip down and help you clean the lower regions. We recommend moving your cleaning sponge or cloth towel lengthwise across the car’s body rather than in circles to avoid causing swirl water marks.
Every few seconds, rinse off the sponge with a hose before soaping up again so that debris doesn’t get stuck to it and scratch the surface. This step is essential because you’d otherwise be applying dirt back onto the car and causing streaks. At the end, dry the car exterior thoroughly, as sitting water might cause water spots.
Use a different towel for the lower parts of the car to reduce the chance of scratching, as rims and tires tend to harbor brake dust and dirt. Use a wheel brush to remove any stubborn dirt.
Many multi-purpose car cleaning supplies work for automobiles, but you should also consider using tire shine after you've completed a thorough deep cleaning of tires and rims, to protect against drying and cracking.
Cleaning the exterior and the interior of car windows comes down to using the right tools, equally important choosing a window cleaner that does not contain harmful chemicals. Econo-Clean concentrate. can be used as a glass cleaner and will give you excellent results on your glass care when diluted 120-1.
As a first step you want to make sure to run a dry microfiber cloth in the interior and exterior of your car windows to remove dirt particles. Using a spray bottle spray directly on the microfiber towel, then with a constant circular motion clean the windows from top to bottom
Avoid using household cleaners and harsh detergents that can damage a finish or paint job. Car dealerships and auto detailing shops use mild soaps and specialized cleaners for car exterior surfaces instead. Don’t worry, though. You don’t have to go for the expensive stuff; choose a concentrated, multi-purpose cleaner and dilute it to match your needs. It’s the best way to save money.
Your choice of cleaner matters, but so does your method of application. Consider a Tornado cleaning gun, which uses air pressure to accelerate otherwise difficult cleaning jobs. It accelerates and makes the cleaning process easy and it’s perfect for washing rims as well as general car washing needs.
