your wash routine

[nick7]

simple enough whats the order you wash your car in etc. not sure if thread like this was around

also my supply some usful info for people like me who havent got a clue on proper order etc

mines would be this if it makes sense
1. Hose car down and get rid of loose dirt
2. spray chemical guys bug remover on front end. leave it on.
3. Start washing with Sponge/Wash Mitt the front end
4. Same as 3 but both sides and back
5. Spray Bilberry wheel cleaner on alloys
6. use wheel brushes to clean alloys and rinse them with hose
7. Rinse all the car down
8. allow car to dry or dry with towel (towel is dirty at times so dont use it)
9. Polish the Car
10. Thats outside done

then Clean inside with is basic enough.
