Hello Team, Please see below our step by step guide for exterior car deep cleaning. πŸš—Step 1: Pre-Rinse (Remove Loose Dirt) Start by rinsing the entire vehicle with a pressure washer or hose. Focus on lower panels, wheel arches, and behind wheels where heavy dirt builds up. This reduces the risk of scratching during contact wash. β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” 🧴Step 2: Snow Foam (Pre-Wash Stage) Apply a thick layer of snow foam using a foam cannon or pump sprayer. Let it dwell for 4-8 minutes (don’t let it dry). This breaks down grime and lifts contaminants safely. Make sure to rinse from bottom to top then rinse from top to bottom. β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” πŸ›žStep 3: Wheels & Tyres First Clean wheels separately using: - Wheel cleaner (iron remover first if needed) - Tyre cleaner - Brushes (barrel, face, tyre) Wash the barrels then face then tyre and rinse Always do wheels before the main wash to avoid splashing dirt onto clean paint!!! β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” 🧼Step 4: Contact Wash (Two-Bucket Method) Use: - One bucket with shampoo - One rinse bucket (with grit guard) Wash top to bottom using a microfiber mitt. Rinse mitt after each section to prevent swirl marks. Then rinse all off from top to bottom and rinse wheels again. β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” πŸ§ͺStep 5: Chemical Decontamination Spray over the full body and lower areas more focus - Iron remover (for brake dust fallout) - Tar remover (for road tar) Let products react, then rinse thoroughly. β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” 🧽Step 6: Clay Bar Treatment Use a clay bar with lubricant to remove bonded contaminants.
