How to Best Wash Your Own Car

1. Tire Clean. Do your wheels and tires first while everything is still dry. That way, chemical is more concentrated and will loosen up the brake dust and grime. 2. Pre-Soak, Low pressure. This is probably the most important step. Direct the wand from side-to-side and spray the car from the bottom to the top. I recommend going around the car twice: it increases the dwell time and ensures a better application. 3. High Pressure Soap. The goal in this step is to blow off the dirt and grime that the tire clean and pre-soak have been loosening up. 4. Hogs Hair Foam Brush. This is the softest and best kind of brush you can put on your car. Start at the bottom and work your way up by doing small circular motion. Hit your wheels and tires last, to not transfer any remaining brake dust back to your car. 5. High Pressure Rinse. Do this from the top down. 6. Low Pressure Wax. Apply this from the bottom up. I also recommend 2 thorough coats of wax. 7. High Pressure Rinse. To rinse off the wax. Congratulations! You have just learned to “Honor Thy Auto” @ Kirkwood Car Wash.
