Before the cold weather comes, we still have a few sunny days left. Like myself, you are probably trying to get in as many outdoor activities as possible. Although it might not cross your mind, washing your own car can be a fun activity to add to that list. It not only provides a clean vehicle, but you can simultaneously save money and get some exercise!
You will first need a hose attached to some sort of water supply, and it is best to have a spray nozzle on it to control water pressure. Typically there is a spot along the outside of your house that will have a faucet you can screw your hose into for water. Now that you have got that under control, you need car wash supplies.
There are a variety of different brands and types that you can use, but one thing is for certain, which is that you need a sponge! The best kind to use is large, to cover the big surface area of the car. The choice is yours whether to use a synthetic or natural sea sponge for the job. Now that you have your sponge, you will need a sturdy bucket. You can use any sort of bucket, provided that it holds at least a couple of gallons of water. A bucket and sponge would be no good, however, without some car wash soap!
Using specially formulated car wash soap is important. It is best to stick with the real thing, since house hold soaps could ruin the finish on your car. Now that you have all of the car wash supplies you need for a basic wash you can begin.
If you like to go the extra mile making your car look professionally done, there are a couple more things you might want to buy. A chamois cloth is good to have to dry your car by hand so it does not streak. Once your car dries, you can use special car wax to give it a beautiful shine that can make it look like new again. From soap to wax, all of these supplies can be purchased at your local grocery store or a specialty shop. Although the initial cost of buying these items might seem more than the price of a car wash, you can use them again and again, saving you quite a bit of money in the long run.
Washing your own car is an all around win for car owners, with the added benefits of getting some sun and exercise, you will be driving your spotless hot rod around with a smile!
