Always wash your car when the bodywork is cool and out of direct sunlight – water evaporates faster on hot cars which can leave water marks.
Always dress your tyres last as tyre dressings often contain silicone, which you don’t want on bodywork when you wax it.
When washing a car, remember to clean the door, boot, and bonnet shuts as dirt and water can gather there and then dribble out over clean exterior bodywork.
When drying a car, use an absorbent microfibre towel as older style chamois leathers can mark paintwork, and use a light misting of quick detailer to help prevent watermarks.
When washing a car, use two buckets, one with shampoo and one without. This avoids putting dirty water back on to the car. Fifteen litre or more buckets are recommended, ideally with anti-grit grates in the bottom.
