How To Use:
Step 1 - Initial high pressure rinse.
This is the part where if not done thoroughly you run the risk of putting scratches in at later stages. Using either a waterblaster or a high-pressure spray nozzle on your hose, blast the vehicle from the top downwards. The aim of this stage is to remove anything that's sitting loose on the paint.
Step 2 - Wash.
Dunk the wash mitt in the SiMPLY shampoo solution and start washing starting at the top of the vehicle and work your way down. The idea here is that you are working your way from the cleanest part of the car (the top) to the dirtiest.
After washing a defined section of the car, e.g. the top above the doors - give the wash mitt a rinse in the bucket you prepared earlier.
Really simple, we're just rinsing the wash mitt every now and again after washing a few panels. The purpose behind this is to ensure that any particles of dirt picked up by the wash mitt fall into the rinse bucket and don't get passed into the wash solution and then dragged across the remaining panel causing scratches. After the mitt has been thoroughly rinsed, load it back up in the shampoo bucket and keep washing. Fundamentally that is the whole Two-Bucket Method which is really simple but very effective for avoiding, avoidable, scratches.
Step 3 - Rinse.
After the car has been washed all over follow the exact same step as Step 1 to remove the shampoo from the car - start from the top and work your way down removing any wash residue using high pressure water.
Step 4 - Dry.
Drying your vehicle once it's washed is best done with the included microfibre towel.
When you are ready to move on to towels, there is only one thing to remember NO MOTION. Scratching is caused when a contaminant is scraped across the surface. If there is no sliding motion, there is no scratching. When using drying towels, lay them across the surface and apply pressure. Try not to move the towels. When that area is dry move onto the next, continuing until all the water has been absorbed into the towel.
After the exterior surface is dried it’s important to make sure the doorjambs are cleaned and dried. Using the all purpose microfiber towel (provided) proceed to wipe the excess water from the door jambs, hatch opening, boot seams, or any other area residual water rests.
