| DON'T WASH YOUR CAR AT HOME |
 |
Careless washing can leave the
paint in worse condition than when you started |
|
|
|
Careless washing can harm the
finish, leave scratches or stains |
|
|
|
Sun can cause soap and water to
dry much faster and possibly dull the finish |
|
|
|
Loose dirt or other debris can
scratch the paint if caught under a sponge or towel |
|
|
|
Dish soap, laundry soap and
household cleaners are too harsh to use on car's paint; they can strip off the protective
wax coating and possibly dull the paint's finish |
|
|
|
Some cloths or other washing
materials can leave hairline scratches |
|
|
|
Any particle of dirt from wash or
rinse bucket can scratch paint |
|
|
|
Clear coat on most of today's
factory wheels, can be damaged by a wheel cleaner that's too strong |
|
|
|
Home rinsing is difficult to get
the necessary fine spray and proper angle to form a sheet of water that will better cover
the contours of the body |
|
|
|
Hard water that dries to quickly
in the driveway, may leave minerals on the paint; if left on for a long time, they could
eat into the paint and become difficult to remove |
