Rinse it. Park the vehicle in the shade and hose it down from top to bottom with cool, clean water.
|
Make soapy water. Use quality soap or detergent made for washing automobiles. Do not use dish or laundry detergent. These are too harsh for automobile paint.
|
Wash it. Use plenty of soapy water and soft clean towels or sponges to wash away dirt and grime to prepare the paint to accept wax.
|
Rinse it again. Work from top to bottom to remove detergent. Say goodbye to dirt and grime.
|
Dry it. Silicone-blade automotive squeegees help speed-up the process. Finish with soft terrycloth towels or chamois.
|
Get fancy. Compressed air can be used to get hidden moisture out of cracks and crevices.
|
Wax on. Apply wax in a circular pattern to a small area at a time. Work in the shade. NEVER apply wax in direct sunlight or attempt to apply wax to a hot painted surface.
|
Wax off. Allow wax to haze over. Use clean soft cloths to remove wax. Shake out any excess from cloths as you go.
