I like to wash in 4 steps.
Step 1- was the top of the car, rinse off
Step 2- rinse the sponge/mitt off, using a grate in your bucket to catch dirt. Wash side of the car, doors includes
Step 3- rinse car, and sponge. Clean rockers, bottoms, and then wheels with proper products, rinse.
Step 4- rinse sponge, and redo whole car with new soap and water, as well as sponge.
Next,
Clay your car, then look at the clay and see what was hiding on your paint... EEK
Wax time,
I use zymol. Buff it onto your car by hand, all over. BARELY touch the rag off of it, (kind of dust it) to let the wax crystalize. Let set 45 mins in shade. Buff off.
Looks sexy!
