Washing

[ChapR]

I can never really get the car really clean it always has some dirt after the power wash,any ideas? Could i try a wash mitt? What kind is the best.Sheeps wool or microfibre thingy?

If you want it really clean the power wash isn't the best technique TBH. Good old fashioned two buckets and some elbow grease is what you want, then try claying the paint to remove all the crap washing it can't.

I like the Mircofiber mits a bit more, but both are good. As above, wash the car with mit and bucket, the clay it.

What does the clay do and how often do you use it?



What kind of clay could i use and where to get it? I live in ireland

Detailing Clay - Elite Car Care

Clay will lift and remove all the sh*t that's left on the paint that washing cant remove. Paint will feel like glass away wards

Id say buy one of the smooth surface kits, as you'll get everything you need. The Megiuar's kit is good and well priced.

Once a month, if you wash the car every week. Or after every wash if you want.

What part of the car do you clay the wole lot or just bottom half of the door,front and back bumper and boot?

Everything. Well rubbers and unpainted trim it wont work on. But paint work glass and wheels.
