[Detail] [as to make ] Auto Laudering

The regular laudering of our automobile is the best prevention that we can make. The well made regular laudering and helps to keep the exterior surfaces in optimum been possible.

1. Material
1.1. Champô

We must use one champô of quality that is soft with the surface of the car and that simultaneously it removes the layer of dirtiness accumulated in day-by-day. What it happens with the majority of the available shampoos is that or is too much efficient and removes the protectora layer (wax) and in the long run provokes damages in the varnish (ressequido varnish prematurely or baço) or is so soft that they do not clean condignamente.


1.2. Bucket

A double bucket or two buckets must be used. Who already washed the car manually, to think itself well, goes to see that it remembers that the water of the bucket is black in the end of the laudering. Already it repaired that it can be to clean little the car and can exactly be to damage the painting with the dirty water and debris?

The concept is very simple: a container alone for water and another one with champô. When washing a area of the car, is transferred to follow it for water to remove the dirtiness and residues and alone later are that it is transferred in champô. Thus champô is remained to pass in the car, in optimum possible state.


1.3. Glove

With that it is that champô in the car is applied? The ideal is a good glove of natural skin of sheep. This glove does not scratch out the car, exactly when “it grasps” the dirtiness of an area of the car. It frees the dirtiness easily when passed for water and still it absorbs very champô so that if it cleans the car easily.


1.4. Towel WW

If not to dry to the car the laudering after, the “water marks had occurred inevitably”. These marks simply are made by the contaminantes of the water, when this evaporates. With heat or exactly only with the continuation, these contaminantes ones are gone incrustrando in the varnish and go damaging it. Therefore, the drying of the car is indispensable.

To dry the car a cloth must be used microstaple fibres waffle-weave and not a vulgar suede or flannel. This is a very absorbent cloth (format WW) and that for being of microstaple fibres it does not scratch out the painting. It is so absorbent that it is obtained to dry the car without having all that to twist it.


2. Process

2. 1. Inical Enxaguamento It is started for the enxaguamento of the automobile for water. The use of machines of pressure or hoses with much pressure is not advised. Moderate pressure must utilizare and a standard of dispressão of the soft water, so that the water arrives uniformly soft and at the surface of the car.

2.2. Laudering

The laudering must be made by sections. It must be started of highest for lowest (and dirtier).

It is caught in the glove and after enxaugada and enough amolecida, it is made marshy of champô. With smoothness it is transferred in the surface of the car. the cowling and the ceiling of the car, must be washed and the cowling in the direcção of the wind, that is of the front it stops backwards A square of 60cm x 80cm is enough so that if pass the glove for water and repeats the process again.

Consonant the type of champô, dirtiness of the car, capacity of the glove and ambient temperature, must be chosen the size of section to wash without rinsing.


2.3. Final Enxaguamento

After each washed and rinsed section, must be rinsed the car all to guarantee again that it is not detergent nor in the surface nor in the hiddings place.

In the end, we can remove the pistol of the hose, open the tap the half capacity and pass the car with current water. This small extra stage allows to reduce the amount of water that is lodged in gutículas on the car. Thus the stage of drying is facilitated.


2.4. Drying

The drying must be made with much smoothness, as of remaining portion all the previous process. The objectivo is to abosrver the water that is in the surface of the car.

If the towel is not the 100% or if the car is small e is great, advises one use to it second.

With the car in its dry majority, a little of Quick Detail can be applied and dry with a good cloth microstaple fibres (clean and dry).

3. Notes All this process must be efectuado far from the Sun, so that champô does not dry fast and loses its properties of lubrication.
