A clean car is a happy car
I'm still working on lining up the guest. Like I said it could take awhile, so I'm going to go ahead with the posts while were waiting.
Keeping your car in good working condition can keep it running longer, and so can cleaning it. It doesn't just make it look better, it can prevent rust, plus it keeps dust and debris from clogging any important intakes.
For the exterior of your car you should always hose it down first, to blast away road grime, and small rocks, you don't want to scratch the car. Then use a car cleaning liquid (such as Armor All)
and a sponge to wash the vehicle. Be sure to do one section of the car at a time, and it is better if you wash from the highest point down. Rinse each section after you are done washing them. DO NOT wash all the sections then rinse, as the suds will dry onto the car. Hose down tires first to get any lose debris then a tire foam to clean, shine, and protect your tires. But remember avoid excessive use on treads, the sprays are intended for sidewall use only. Using a spray protectant also works well. Waxing a car is more of an art form. Turtle Wax is a great wax, easy and
effective. I won't get into waxing too much, just the basics. Park your car in a cool, shaded area. Apply wax onto the directly or onto a cloth or sponge. As you did in the washing of the car, wax sections rather then the whole car at once. Spread the wax over the surface until there is an even coat of wax. Then while your waiting for this section to dry move onto the next panel and repeat what you did on the first one. Allow the first one to dry to a haze, then wipe off excess wax residue. By now the second panel should be dried, apply wax to the next section, then start wiping the excess off of the second section, and so on. Next you buff, take a buffing cloth (some people use a power buffer) and, in circular motions, you shine up the area you just wiped. You may need to use a bit of force depending on how much the wax dried. To read more on the "Art of Waxing" visit this link: http://www.ehow.com/how_1327_wax-car.html
For the interior a simple protectant spray (such as Armor All Original Protectant). For soiled areas Armor All Cleaning Wipes do the trick. You can also get leather care and window care wipes, gel, and cleaner.
