How do you..

[Skitzo]

Just wondering how you guys wash your cars?

I have been taking mine to a car wash place that has been doing the job but I would prefer to do it myself and make a good and perfect job of it so have you guys got any tips on how to wash it manually and produce that 'lookin so fine' finish that our cars deserve?

Well I have always had comments about the paintjob on my car (maritius blue). And my car still spends alot of time in the weather.

Some simple tips -

- Wash/detail your car in the shade

- dont use too much soap

- dont let the water dry on the car ALWAYS use a Chamois

- use seperate chamois for wheels and body

- you get what you pay for in cleaning products (stick to good names)

- do everything by hand (dont use those wool attachments for your drill for cut/polish etc.)

I spend a good 2-3 hours when I clean my car, inside/out and under the bonnet (levels etc).

It's always a great feeling when someone makes a good comment about your car :D

Oh and one trick that I forgot to put in there

- Soak bird droppings before washing off - 110 grams of dissolved baking soda in 1 litre of water will remove stubborn marks
