How do I properly hand-wash my car?

 

While we offer extensive high-end services, such as paint correction, ceramic coating, and rock chip repair, many of our clients prefer to handle the general washing of their cars themselves. This is a great option, especially if you enjoy washing your car on a Saturday! (Please note: this process is the EASIEST and QUICKEST if your vehicle has been ceramic coated! Learn more about that here. )

 

If you are going to hand wash your own car, here are some tips to make the job easier and produce the best results!


  1. We recommend a good foam cannon and pressure washer combination that will allow you to cover the entire vehicle in shampoo. This will pull the surface grime off.
  2. Wipe side to side—not in circles—with a microfiber wash mitt.
  3. Once this has been completed, use the pressure washer to rinse off the shampoo.
  4. Dry with a high thread count, ultra-plush microfiber towel with almost NO pressure from your hand.

Not into hand-washing yourself, but don’t want to risk the damage of a drive-through car wash? Give us a call at 316-295-0787 to schedule a quick exterior maintenance wash at the shop!
