Here are some things to consider:
- Use products sold specifically for automobiles. Household cleaners can contain harsh detergents, abrasives and additives that strip the wax from the paint and damage the finish.
- Clean your wheels with a wheel cleaner that removes brake dust, which can blacken your front tires.
- Be sure to follow the directions on the container of your cleaning products because applications can vary.
- Once your vehicle is clean and dry, check the vehicle for foreign particles on the paint, then apply a wax as directed. The wax will protect the finish and make subsequent washing easier.
