Washing and waxing your car on a hot, sunny day isn’t ideal, since the sun’s heat may dry the soap and wax on the vehicle before you’ve rinsed or polished it sufficiently. So, if you’ll be working outside, check the forecast to make sure you’ll detail your car on a partly or fully overcast day. If the weather forecast shows that the day will be rainy, clean the car in your garage. While it’s possible to detail your car while it’s parked in a garage, you’ll find that there’s more room to move around the vehicle if it’s parked outside. Situate the car on a level area so you’ll have easy access to all sides of the vehicle. To avoid full sun, park under a tree or in another shady location. For example, park the car in your driveway or in an infrequently used cul-de-sac. It’s important that you use a soap specifically designed for vehicles and not, for example, dishwashing detergent. Pour automotive soap into a large plastic bucket as directed on the label. Then, using an outdoor hose, add water to the bucket until it’s roughly 3/4 full.  Carefully carry the bucket to your vehicle’s location, taking care not to spill any of the soap solution. Purchase automotive shampoo at any car-supply shop. Some large supermarkets may also carry the product. with a soft, clean sponge. Take a large vehicle sponge and submerge it in the soapy water. Scrub it across surfaces of your car in long, lengthwise strokes, making sure to remove all of the caked-on dirt and grime.  If you’re working outdoors on a hot day, spray your car down with a hose before applying soap. This will keep the paint wet and prevent the suds from drying in the sun’s heat. Work section by section from the top of your car downward, so that you don’t end up cleaning any of the same sections twice. Wash the windows, doors, roof, hood, fenders, and rear of the vehicle. As soon as all of the sections of the car are clean, use your hose to spray a generous amount of water over the car’s body. Be sure not to let the soap dry on the car before you rinse it off, or it will leave unsightly residue marks across the vehicle. If you’re working on a warm day and are worried that the soap may dry on washed sections before you’ve had a chance to finish washing the whole car, rinse the car section by section. Dip the brush into the bucket of soapy water and then set to work cleaning out hard-to-reach nooks in the exterior of your car. Scrub inside of the insets around your headlights and taillights, under door handles, and inside the side mirrors. Rinse off the brush as necessary to keep it from getting filled up with grime. While a toothbrush would suffice in a pinch, its bristles won’t be tough enough to scrub out caked-on grime. Purchase a wheel and tire cleaning spray from your local auto supply store. As directed on the packaging, apply the shine spray to the wheel surfaces and let it sit and soak in as directed on the spray container. While the spray is soaking on 1 wheel, walk around your car and spray wheel cleaner on the other 3 wheels.  Then, use a clean sponge to scrub the wheels until all traces of dirt, mud, and grime are gone. Rinse the sponge out with water as needed between wheels. If there are hard-to-reach spots in the wheel arches that you can’t quite clean out with a sponge, use an old toothbrush instead. Once the wheels and arches are clean, dry off the wheels and wheel arches with a damp sponge and buff with a dry cloth. Once you’ve finished washing the entire surface of your car, dry it by hand before the water evaporates on its own. Use a microfiber cloth to dry off the windows, doors, hood, trunk, and all other surfaces of the vehicle. An efficient hand-drying will leave the car free of smears. If any of the car’s surfaces have dried on their own, give them a quick blast with the hose, then hand dry the area. This will prevent the dried car from having any unsightly patches. Start by spraying a generous coating of the window-cleaner spray onto all of the vehicle’s external glass surfaces. Then, take a new sponge and wash the exterior of the car’s windows until all traces of dirt are gone. Be sure to also wash the windshield and rear window. Then, roll down the door windows about 3 inches (7.6 cm) and use the sponge to wash the tops of the glass. Cleaner waxes will both wax and polish your vehicle. Once your car has been washed, a cleaner wax product will both polish and wax the outer surfaces. Follow the instructions on the bottle and apply the product with a clean rag.  Car polish keeps a good sheen on the car, even in dry, dusty and wet weather. The wax component of the product will guard the car’s paint from UV rays and small stones. Using a cleaner wax product saves you from having to polish and wax your car separately. Purchase a cleaner wax product at any automotive supply store. with a clean, dry cloth or chamois. Don’t buff the car while it’s dry, as you might end up scratching the paint. So, make sure there’s still some wet polish on the car before you begin buffing. Rub the metal surfaces with small, circular strokes to smear the cleaner wax across the vehicle. Work over the entire car’s body with a dry, clean cloth.  This should buff out any smears and leave the bodywork looking shiny and fresh. At this point, your car should appear as if it’s ready for a showroom floor. For a professional level-buff you can rent or purchase a rotary buffing tool from a hardware store and use it to buff the car and smooth out its paint.
