Washing Your Car By Hand Again For Spring

Spring weather can be… unpredictable. The warmer weather entices us to go on a long car ride with the windows down, while the impending rain deters us from touchless car washes. It becomes a Catch 22. On pretty days, you want a pleasant drive with a clean vehicle. But why spend money on a professional car wash if you know rain is in the forecast? 

 

Thankfully, these concepts aren’t mutually exclusive. You can show off your hotrod without paying for a touchless car wash every few days. If you choose to hand wash your vehicle, you’ll save a little money and get to spend a little more time outdoors. It’s a win-win!

Simple Hand Washing Tips 

Handwashing doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need any fancy tools or products (though they certainly don’t hurt!). All you’ll need is a hose, some soap, a bucket, and a sponge. Just like in the drive-thru car wash, you’ll rinse the vehicle, get it soapy, rinse it again, and then dry it off. You can even add a car wax if you’re feeling fancy! 

 

Some tricks for hand washing your vehicle are:
 

  1. Invest in a good hose attachment so you can rinse your car efficiently and quickly. Don’t forget to spray down the wheels and undercarriage!

  2. Soap up your car with high-quality vehicle soap. (Unfortunately, dish soap won’t suffice!)

  3. Use microfiber towels to dry your vehicle. Go on a quick ride to ensure the undercarriage is dried off.
