Bubba Says Automatic Car Washes Are Hard On A Car's Finishes

By Thomas Gilroy


Believe it or not beautiful summer weather can actually be detrimental to your vehicle's finish. Sunlight and warm weather can actually harm your car's finish. Ultraviolet light - U.V. light, can cause in chemical terms oxidation.

Here are the steps to get a good and thorough "car wash" or how to wash your auto 101. It is easy and sequential. Not rocket science. You paid good money for your vehicle. So keep it in top shape when it comes for top resale dollars for sale on or Kijiji Winnipeg . You want lots of phone calls and few no-shows. Always remember first impressions are lasting impressions - when it comes to car , truck &SUV buyers.

Firstly you can take your auto to a commercial car wash. These can be "full service" that is a full wash with a team of cleaners in and out. This is nice, impresses many women as they have visions of such a "team" fully and thoroughly cleaning their home in such a manner - sweeping through home like a tornado. You will get a clean vehicle but it's a little bit pricey and if you live in a smaller center you may not have such a full service "car wash" in your area. Next in line you can visit a self service car wash. Usually these have high pressure nozzles, along with a vacuum cleaner to allow you to vacuum your vehicle's interior fully, wash with the high pressure nozzle with a cleaning brush to wet your vehicle with soapy hot water, spray the vehicle and dirty areas with the high pressure nozzle spraying out hot soapy water, and finally rinsing your auto's exterior fully. Lastly many commercial do it yourself automobile "buggy baths" provide you with a final spray wax finish to leave a beautiful sheen on your now clean auto.

What are the basic steps of washing your auto? First Park the car in the shade. Second using a garden hose and plenty of cold water, rinse the entire exterior surface of your auto. Third comes the "car washing'. Fourthly the rinse off. If you have been using detergent to wash your car, it is very important to use the hose fully, or alternatively several full pails of clean water and clean towels to rinse each and every panel or section as you go along. You will find that by the time you have finished washing and rinsing your complete car , as well as complexly rinsing each and every section of your vehicle fully, that most cars , not unlike dinner plates in a dishwasher , will be "spotty" and "spotted" - that is water spotted. What to do - rinse your car again and follow the chamois drying instructions in the last paragraph below.

Lastly it is not only your vehicle's exterior which keeps you traveling down the highways and byways easily, comfortably and reliably. No doubt about it that your car, truck or SUV takes an ongoing beating and pounding day in day out. Make it a regular and ongoing point to conduct ongoing and regular maintenance checks. Professional semi trailer drivers do it as a matter of course and habit and so should you. Check fluid levels for battery, brakes, steering and transmission. Of course check the level of your engine oil and change it regularly according to your vehicle's manufacturer and your auto's drivers and owner's manuals. If it doubts double check at the service or sales dept of your local authorized automobile dealership. Inspect your engine's hoses and belts for wear, tears and rips. Have these replaced if necessary. Check the air pressures of your tires. If you are unfamiliar again visit the service department of your local auto dealer or a local tire shop. They will be only too happy to assist you. Lastly change air filters - both engine and cabin if dirty or clogged. Preventative maintenance is always safer, less stressful and ultimately less costly and expensive on the auto ownership budget.
