The 5 Things to Avoid When Washing a Car

Model: (Various brands) Various

Video tutorial

Today, we will discuss the 5 most common mistakes made during a car wash. Mistake No. 1: applying shampoo to a wet bodywork.

The layer of water on the surface dilutes the concentrated detergent, reducing its effectiveness. Mistake No. 2: manually applying a detergent designed for a touchless wash.

This type of detergent lacks additives that reduce friction, so applying foam with a sponge may damage the paint. Mistake No. 3: washing the car from the bottom up. Mistake No. 4: making circular motions during manual washing.

This can create micro-scratches in a circular pattern. Mistake No. 5: drying the bodywork with unsuitable accessories.

Use microfiber cloths for this task.
