The Market has Changed

In recent years, new car cleaning products and techniques have appeared, formulated specifically for leather, clothing, rugs, paints, and glass. The era of silicone wax and protective foams has given access to waxes, wetting agents for plastics, and powerful shampoos to the public; products that were previously limited to cleaning professionals to use.

Always Wash Your Car in the Shade

Never wash it under the rays of the sun. Why? Because excessive heat quickly dries the products, preventing their correct action and also, because the high temperature also alters the properties, both of the paint and crystals, and of the products. Throwing cold water to a windshield that has been in the sun for a long time could even crash it, or a sudden change in temperature could prevent the wax from doing its job.

Use Two Buckets Filled with Water

When washing, always have two buckets of water on hand. One with shampoo and the other with water only. Dip the rag or sponge into the mixture and when you are done, soak it in the bucket that has only water. So the dirt will remain in the bucket that has only water and you will not take it back to the shampoo.

Do Not Use the Same Cloth to Dry and Wax

Order your cloth and rags. Never use the same towel to dry and then to wax. It's advised to use microfiber cloths and towels, which are much softer with paint. Forget about household cotton towels or kitchen sponges. When it comes to your vehicle, resort to microfiber cloths only. Also, if your car is very dirty, try to rinse it with plenty of water before starting to use soap or shampoo.

Clean the Interior with the Appropriate Product

Shampoo is not good for cleaning interiors. Apart from leaving the oily and greasy plastics, then with the heat, it dries them. Today there are specialized brand products that are applied by spray and that contain wetting agents, as well as UV filters that will prevent your console from burning or losing its color, as well as delivering a natural shine, without oily residues.

Choose a Product to Begin Disinfecting

To begin, you must select the proper products to wash each part, and certain areas of your car. The following tips can give you an idea depending on the surface you're looking to clean:

• For leather: use neutral soap and purified water, also dry as quickly as possible with a padding motion.
• For plastic and fiberglass: customize a solution of 1/10 of chlorine in 9/10 of water.
• For vinyl: use lukewarm foamy water, always dry with a clean cloth, and don't let the material soak up the water.
• For glass and the exterior of the vehicle: you can use normal car soap that makes enough foam but be mindful when you dry the exterior.

Always Clean High Contact Points

The following are high contact points that are inclined to collect dirt and germs. Keep an eye on:

• The Steering wheel
• Board
• Gear lever
• Stereo
• Buttons for electric windows or failing manual lifts
• Locking and opening handles
• Rearview mirrors
• Electric lighter
• The car's glasses and keys
