The Joy Of Washing & Waxing Your Own Auto

By Thomas W. Scott


Believe it or not beautiful summer weather can actually be detrimental to your vehicle's finish. Sunlight and warm weather can actually harm your car's finish. Ultraviolet light - U.V. light, can cause in chemical terms oxidation.

Here are the steps to get a good and thorough "car wash" or how to wash your auto 101. It is easy and sequential. Not rocket science. You paid good money for your vehicle. So keep it in top shape when it comes for top resale dollars for sale on or Kijiji Winnipeg . You want lots of phone calls and few no-shows. Always remember first impressions are lasting impressions - when it comes to car , truck &SUV buyers.

The results of oxidation of a previously shiny and beautiful auto finish are obvious for all or most to see. First the paint finish will present with a dull chalky appearance. Look for "crazing" - that is a maze of hair like cracks on metallic or refinished surfaces which can occur when paint shrinks under the hot summer sun. Crazing is especially common in hot climates such as Florida residents or even visiting tourists encounter. Lastly add in bird dropping - or bird do do which can permanently stain your car's paint and finish if not wiped off or cleaned off more than promptly. You never know when someone in Manitoba will be shopping for a good used low km truck in Vancouver. Not only that. First impressions count most. Any person involved in out shopping for the opposite sex or involved in a sales related position will tell you that , no doubt.

Yet there is nothing nicer than washing your car in your driveway on a sunny afternoon. While being convenient with "one stop shopping" - that is hot water , soap, a high pressure cleaning nozzle as well as cleaning brush and vacuum all in one place a buggy bath may overall be not such a great bargain to you as an auto owner both in terms of time , convenience and cost. The car wash may be crowded at peak times when you are free and off work - weekends for example. Secondly you may be rushed in your efforts both in terms of time allowed by the coin meter feeding the hot water to wash your car. You may not notice imperfect cleaning until you are out in the sun, away from the cleaning away, drying your vehicle.

It can be said that if you have the time and the place to wash your car outside, along with a hose or pails or hot water, along with soap and a drying chamois nothing could be a nicer way to spend your free time on a weekend or evening.
