Equipment required: Pressure washer, quality foam lance, high quality sudsing/foaming ph neutral car wash shampoo, microfibre cloths (3), a quality wash mitt, and a shaded area.
Step 1: rinse car thoroughly with pressure washer, top to bottom
Step 2: foam up the car with your foam lance from bottom to top, and let sit for 3min. Whilst you’re waiting, get a microfibre cloth and clean windows and then your rims, separate cloths for each.
Step 3: rinse car thoroughly with pressure washer, top to bottom
Step 4: foam up the car with your foam lance from top to bottom, but do NOT rinse off.
Step 5: Get you noodle, hold it in your hand safely, and blast it out with clean water using your pressure washer. Now, start from the roof, using no pressure, slide the noodle along the surface of the paint in one direction only (NOT BACK AND FORTH MOTION). After you have done half the roof in one direction check for dirt in your wash mitt and blast out with the pressure washer insuring to remove all debris. Repeat on the other side of roof and rinse noodle again. Then move to the bonnet and boot, repeating the process above. The sides of the car are most important, place noodle against the car (NO PRESSURE) starting from one end and slide it all the way to the other end of the car without stopping, lift and rinse. Repeat this step stroke by stroke until you reach the bottom of the car BUT remember to check each stoke and blast your noodle mitt clean to remove contaminants and dirt on each pass. Repeat this process on each area of the car until complete.
Step 6: rinse car thoroughly with pressure washer, top to bottom
Step 7: dry with quality microfibre cloths, and or use a leaf blower to dry your car if it has Ceramic Paint Protection.
Enjoy the results & Happy Motoring!
