Equipment required: Pressure washer, quality foam lance, high quality sudsing/foaming ph neutral car wash shampoo, microfibre cloths (3), a quality wash mitt, twisted microfibre drying towel and a shaded area.

Step 1: remove any leave and sticks that maybe present on the vehicle

Step 2: foam up the car with your foam lance from bottom to top, and let sit for 5min. Whilst you’re waiting, get a microfibre cloth and bushes to clean your rims.

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 your noodle mitt or mitt of choice, 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 mitt along the surface of the paint in one direction only (NO 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 the mitt again. Then move to the bonnet and boot, repeating the process above. The sides of the car are most important, place the mitt 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 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 twisted microfibre drying cloth, and or use a leaf blower to dry your car first if it has Ceramic Paint Protection applied.
