Especially if you are one of those people who like to do their car and often do it yourself to wash, then the 2 bucket washing method We recommend. An important argument in favor of using this washing method is that it is particularly gentle on the paintwork. You need nothing more than two large buckets, if possible, two so-called grid guards and two different washing gloves (one fine and one coarse).
Procedure of the two bucket washing method!
If you want to use this method, you will need twice as many water buckets as usual, namely two, but not twice as much time. The procedure for pre-cleaning is basically the same as usual. You pre-clean the car as usual. Become first cleaned the rims and then the whole vehicle, if possible, with a good Snow foam lathered. Then you take it Pressure Washer and hoses down your car. This is the end of the pre-cleaning. If necessary, treat stubborn dirt again (such as with cleaning clay). This is then a perfect basis for the subsequent hand wash.
The first step: The best preparation
- Before you can get started, you need to find a suitable place for the two buckets. They should be placed so that your ways during washing short being held. And the buckets should ideally be different colors so that you don't mix them up. Because during the wash, both buckets foam about the same, which makes confusion possible. It is also recommended to have one Grit Guard to be placed on the respective floor. This collects the dirt excellently and the dirt can be disposed of later.
The second step: Fill the two buckets accordingly
- An important step is of course that you fill the two buckets with water. This can be cold or warm depending on what you have available. On the one hand, warm water is of course more pleasant for the hands and, on the other hand, the dirt is also better removed. While one bucket is only filled with clear water, the other gets a shampoo mixture. You are free to choose this.
- Do you plan to close the car after washing? versiegeln, then use a shampoo for washing that can easily remove residues of wax and old seals. If the seal on the car is relatively new, the residue should be able to be removed with a slightly alkaline cleaner. There are of course countless manufacturers and variants, so have fun with your search.
The third step: The actual hand washing begins
- Now you start with that Hand wash from the vehicle and clean the glove used after each component in the bucket with fresh water. Because there is a grit guard on the floor, this process can be repeated several times. The Grit Guard ensures that the dirt is not whirled up, but sticks to the bottom of the bucket. This has the advantage that you can dip your glove back into the bucket of shampoo without spreading the dirt.
- This allows you to clean your car step by step in several processes without scratches caused by any dirt residue and particles that are in the glove.
- After you have foamed and cleaned the area of the vehicle, spray it directly with the high-pressure cleaner, if possible. In this way you prevent unsightly residues of the shampoo from remaining on the car paintwork or even burning it in. This can mainly occur in summer and in regions with high temperatures and looks particularly ugly with dark colors.
You should note a few things
To properly seal your car clean, is the use of Wash mittens indispensable. You can use a fine glove for the entire upper area of the vehicle. It absorbs enough liquid to remove the dirt and not damage the paintwork. In order to be able to thoroughly clean your car in the lower area, it is best to use one coral wash mitt. This is ideal for loosening and then removing the coarse dirt. Before you dry your vehicle, it is best to clean it again with the high-pressure cleaner. Then you can then large, soft microfiber cloth use. They are known for their absorbency, so you can dry your car quickly, gently and without leaving streaks.
Cleaning the gloves and towels
As soon as you have successfully cleaned your vehicle, it is advisable to also clean the washing mitts and the microfibre cloth in the washing machine. But for this you absolutely have to have a suitable one Microfiber Detergent use and you should never add fabric softener. The fabric softener makes the fibers hard, makes them stick together and so they can no longer absorb water. Depending on how dirty the vehicle is, the gloves don't always have to go directly into the washing machine. It is also occasionally sufficient to clean them only with clear water.
