Don’t let your car’s finish get ruined this rainy season. Use these pro tips from Advance Detailing Experts to better protect your car and investment. Some recommendations on how to wash your ceramic coated car after the rain:
- Rinse the car thoroughly. Concentrate on muddy areas and remove as much dirt and mud with the pressure of the water. We highly recommend using ionized water.
- Use a pH balanced car shampoo and soft microfiber wash mitt to wash the car gently. (If using a foam cannon with pressure washer, foam the entire car from top to bottom, including wheels, tires and fender wells. Be generous with the foam)
- Make foamy soap with water in a bucket for your microfiber wash mitt.
- Have a separate bucket with only water to clean your wash mitt when it gets dirty. This will help to maintain the soap clean.
- Start washing from top and work your way down. Pay special attention to the bottom of the car for mud and don’t get your wash mitt dirty. If you do, wash the mitt in your clean water bucket. Make sure to inspect for any dirt left on the paint.
- Rinse car off and dry (we recommend a leaf blower to blow all the water out) wipe the excess water off.
- Wash the wheels, tires, fender wells and the bottom trims of the car.
- Air blow the entire car again and wipe off all the door jams.
- Air blow again and wipe down all the excess water.
- Apply a ceramic coating maintenance spray to enhance the shine and protection of the ceramic coating.
- It’s important to wash a ceramic coated car regularly to maintain its protective properties and keep it looking its best.
