Washing exterior surfaces is the backbone of a good detail. Cleaning
the exterior allows you to clearly see the paint condition and any
hidden damage. A clean surface is required prior to buffing,
polishing, and waxing.
Before you begin washing your vehicle, it's important to know the
difference between Auto Magic's® two premium car wash products.
The first product, E-Z Suds Liquid Concentrate, is a pH balanced
high suds shampoo designed for deep cleaning exterior vehicle
surfaces that may not be cleaned regularly.
Wash & Wax Concentrate works best
on paint finishes that are cleaned regularly. It is formulated with
optical brighteners that enhance the vehicles surface while you wash
the surface of the car.

RINSE
The surface of the vehicle must be cool to the touch prior to
washing. For best results, work in the shade. Rinse the entire
vehicle well with water. Be sure to spray loose dirt out of crevices
and body side moldings. |
|
SUDS
Add 2 ounces of car wash solution to a 5 gallon bucket, then fill
with pressurized water. |
|
WASH
Use a wash
mitt and work from the top down. Wash the roof and the windows
followed by the hood and trunk. Rinse between sections. Next wash
the sides of the car from the moldings up. Rinse again. Finally wash
the lower sections of the vehicle from the moldings down. Follow up
with a thorough rinse of the entire vehicle. |
|
DRY
To avoid water spots, dry the vehicle with a synthetic
drying cloth.
Again, work from the top down. Start with the roof
and windows. Save the lower sections for last.
