- Be sure to follow these instructions in the order given.
- It is important that you have your car in a shaded area and have access to a nearby water hose. Parking in the sun will cause the water to dry quickly, leaving water spots.
- It is also important to clean the body of your car from top to bottom so that you do not have dirty residue flowing onto areas you have already washed. This is the reason for following the instructions in order.
- Depending on how dirty your car is you may need to change out your buckets of soapy solution and rinse water to be sure you are effectively cleaning each area of the body.
- You will need one wash mitt to wash the wheels and tires and the other to wash the rest of the car.
(NOTE: the wheel is the “hubcap”; the tire is the actual rubber part).
