Ten top tips for washing your car

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Britain’s most expensive car washer Gurcharn Sahota, who charges up to £7,200 for his service, gives you his top ten tips for keeping your car clean.

-Start with a jet wash to remove most of the dirt

-Use two buckets with grit guards at the bottom so they don’t pick up dirt

-Add warm water mixed a pH neutral shampoo in one and plain water in the other

-Use a lambswool wash mitt which only costs £8 and is better than a sponge

-Always wash from the top down

-Use different cloths on the bodywork and wheels

-Avoid acidic and high-alkaline wheel cleaners and any silicone-based products because they stain

-Use a towel instead of a chamois leather to dry the car

-Always check the cleaning materials regularly to make sure there’s no dirt in them

-Take your time and enjoy washing the car
