When a car is driven for too long, it will inevitably get dusty. Most people pick a nice day to go to the car wash, but sometimes this is troublesome and expensive.

You can wash your car at home; follow this guide to try it out!

1. Gather the necessary supplies:

Before you begin, gather all the supplies, including a bucket, car wash soap, non-abrasive sponges or microfiber wash mitts, a hose, a soft brush, microfiber towels, and car wax (optional).

2. Parking:

It's crucial to park your car in a shaded area to prevent the soap and water from drying too quickly, causing water spots.

3. Rinse the car:

Start by rinsing the entire car with water from the hose. This helps remove loose dirt and debris, preparing the surface for washing.

4. Prepare the soapy water:

Fill a bucket with water and add appropriate car wash soap. Mix it well to create a soapy solution.

5. Wash the car's exterior:

Dip the sponge or microfiber wash mitt into the soapy water and wash the car's exterior. Start at the top and slowly work your way down to clean.

Remove dirt by scrubbing with gentle circular motions and rinsing the sponge off in the bucket often.

6. Clean the wheels and tires:

Use a separate brush or sponge to clean your wheels.

Remove brake dust and dirt with a specialized wheel or all-purpose cleaner. Carefully scrub your wheels and tires and rinse them off with water.

7. Rinse the car again:

After thoroughly washing the entire car, rinse it off using the hose. Start from the top and work your way down, ensuring that all soap residues are removed.

8. Dry the car:

Using soft, absorbent microfiber towels, dry the car's exterior. Pat dry the surface instead of rubbing, which may cause swirl marks.

9. Optional: Apply wax

If desired, apply car wax to protect the paint and give your car a glossy finish. Follow the wax product instructions and apply a clean microfiber cloth to apply it evenly.

Following these steps, you can effectively clean your car's exterior, wheels, and tires while maintaining the paint's finish.

Regularly washing your car will keep it looking great and preserve its value for years to come. So grab your supplies and enjoy giving your car a fresh and clean appearance!
