The most common mistake made in self-washing cars is the use of sponges and rags with dust and sand left behind. This is why scratches and “cobwebs” form on the car body, detailing specialist Daniil Skrebov told socialbites.ca.
“For washing, you should use porous sponges and wipe the car with a large pile – microfiber towels, which are about 8 millimeters. On ordinary rags with which self-washers are equipped, sand and dust remain, so the body is covered with scratches and “cobwebs”, ceases to shine and becomes dull. Even if you wash these rags very well, you won’t be able to get rid of all the sand particles,” said Skrebov.
The specialist explained that in order not to damage the paintwork, you need to remove moisture from the car body in a special way – you need to put a cloth on the car and pull it from the side without pressing on the body. In addition, if the hood of the vehicle is covered with a decorative or protective film, a water jet must be applied from a distance of at least 50 cm, otherwise the film may tear.
“Drivers also often apply shampoo after rinsing the car with water. This is a mistake, because the already diluted shampoo remains on the water shell. As a result, after washing, the dirt remains on the body, ”the source said.
