Okay, okay, okay!

Let's get some car tips back in action!

Alright. Hmm... where do you want to start?

Hmm.. how about car washing?

Yeah, that sounds good.

Nothing looks like one hell of a father-son bonding experience when you get you and your son (or your father) to wash the old automobile. What more, it keeps your car looking nice and shiny--which is obviously the end-product of the car being washed. And so, get those buckets, sponges, and hoses ready. Coz we're in for an auto-hygenic ride!

Alright, let's start with some basic tips:

First, if it is possible, try to wash your car in the shade or indoors. After all, you wouldn't want falling leaves and dirt on to your vehicle while washing it don't you? Not only that, if you wash your car under direct sunlight chances are the water would evaporate too quickly and you would end up having waterspots all over your vehicle.

Now that you've placed your car inside your garage (again), and that you've already dipped that sponge into that foamy soap-water mixture. You might already be asking yoursef: "So where do I start?"

Alright, you should start with the wheels first. Okay, you might be asking "Why? Can't I start at the top so it's more systematic?" Well, sir, you should start with the wheels first because you wouldn't want that grime, dust, dirt, and sh*t on your wheels to be splattering on the "already-cleaned" part of your car.

Get it? Got it.

Alright.

Now, here’s some good car cleaning tips:

1.      Clean one wheel at a time (obviously)

2.      After cleaning each wheel, pre-rinse the entire car. That’d remove dry dirt and other fragments even before you start swabbing that sponge.

3.      After emptying that bucket of water, mix in some of your favorite (or appropriate) car shampoo and some water together. Now I’ve heard that some people use human-shampoo for their cars, but I wouldn’t suggest using that either.

4.      Start mish-moshing that sponge to that water-shampoo mixture and begin cleaning the body of your car. Start from the top and work your way downwards. And yeah, don’t use sponges that are hard to begin with. Chances are your car could suffer from a scratch or two. I use either a natural sea sponge or those soft yellow ones that looks like that cartoon sponge who live in a pineapple (under the sea).

5.      And finally, do rinse often after cleaning a certain part. With that you could prevent soap rings from forming over the body of your car.

6.      After doing all that, we’d then go to the drying part. Again, start at the top and work your way down again.

And that’s that! Though it may seem obvious, but most drivers don’t clean their vehicles properly. Just remember, clean your car like you clean yourself. Start with the most messy part, then work your way from top to bottom. Alright?

Alright.
