The looks and cleanliness for every vehicle matters. If you’re anything like me, tidying up your car often feels like a chore that takes too much precious time on your weekends when that time could be better spent enjoying time with friends or family.
Wiping off dirt from your hood, scrubbing off stubborn brake dust and bug guts can take forever! But, taking the time to thoroughly clean your car’s paintwork, exterior and interior is well worth it when you see the end result. Seeing your car from a “warzone” look to a “brand” new look really pays off all the effort in wiping and scrubbing.
Now, here are 8 must haves you would need in cleaning your car and how to get the best result with minimal effort:
- Bucket and Sponge
As every teacher and coach would say, always start with the basics. A good quality sponge and a decent sized bucket will definitely allow you to have a continuous supply of soapy water to clean even the largest of vehicles.
Prepare two buckets to easily segregate the bucket where you clean off your dirty sponge vs the bucket to wipe off your vehicle. One with your soapy solution and the other with fresh, clean water. With this kind of setup, you can easily rinse your sponge in the clean water to remove any dirt and debris before wiping it back to your vehicle.
Buying the best quality sponge or wash mitt will reduce the chances of having scratches to your vehicle. You may shop here for the best type of sponges.
- CAR WASH LIQUID
This products will help eliminate hard water spots that can be left on your paintwork as a result of minerals in the mains water. Choose a liquid that bubbles up, to help remove the grit and grime on your paintwork. Some products offer car wash and wax in one bottle. While this may be good to save some time, it won’t provide as much protection or shine as a separate polish and wax. For a wide selection of car wash liquid, simply click here.
- WHEEL CLEANER AND TIRE BLACK
As they say, your vehicle’s wheels are the Jordan’s shoes of your feet! The wheels on your car are subject to brake dust as well as road grime and tar and can be difficult to keep clean.
