[@carlosdubon8539]

[@garishanth]

*Pressure washers, like touch-less car washes, "eat" away at the clear coat of a car.* Regular residential hose water pressure with a "jet," or similar, spray pattern will do the same job. TWO buckets, one for soap and one to rinse the micro-fiber. Pass micro-fiber parallel to the car's lines. Figure eights = swirls. Rinse with a fan spray pattern to remove soap/dirt. Follow it with a mist pattern. The smaller the droplets the easier the drying. Dry parallel to the car's lines. Six black cars and the last two were swirl free after 100k miles.

How do you pre rinse? Do you dry from back to front or top to back and top to front?

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

*Follow the car's lines when drying.*

[@edy6722]

Well. What if I just have the nozzle far enough to not "eat" away at the clear coat. I always presoak the car anyways so I dont have to spray it too close. And I always use 4 to 5 microfiber cloth to wash the my car. Depends on how dirty the car is. But I never rinse and reuse the same cloth after hitting the nastiest areas. I always use a fresh one. This works best for me. No swirling at all.

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

@@edy6722 *Seems like you have the non-scratch technique down.* But pressure washer jet is too much PSI for keeping the clear last long. Even car wash sprayers will wear away clear coats - especially if the paint is not OEM. Typical garden sprayers have a non-destructive PSI level.

Use Meguires Ultimate Spray Wax as a drying aid with multiple towels. You can use it everywhere on the car and leaves a thin topper coat of wax to a base coat. This adds great lubrication for the drying process helping prevent scratches as you dry. This was a real game changer for me.

[@jonfrench7133]

yep great reminder of how to do it properly. Interesting alternative to two bucket removing the need to rinse by using a fresh mitt for each panel. Only improver would be hot air drier rather than a towel to complete the process with minimal touch

[@buatnobar9725]

even you have perfect metode during washing your car, you absolutely still make a scratch & swirls during the drying without use drying aid metode because water is solid and need some lubricant during the drying process. that is why you absolutely need drying aid

[@Bluenote55]

The final product looks amazing! Well done.

[@buddajoseph]

I use the pressure washer to rinse the car first before the foam process. If I have time I use a good quality blower to dry the car off instead of drying towel and follow the lines of the car.

[@EGM_Sir]

Don't rinse first because some dirt do require to be dissolved first so it doesn't ruin your paint, always start with the foam as it will losen all the dirt before applying full pressure water on your paint 💯

[@Mikeskii2]

I definitely got the swirls from the automatic wash

[@kevkav5680]

Excellent tutorial on washing your car , looking forward to more videos on car care !

[@GamePlay-tv9ju]

I do exactly what you do but the problem I face is the white calcareous spots after it drys and it looks terrible,I never had this problem on other colour cars.

[@iamburko]

You'll get that if your water is hard, get some AutoGlym Rapid Ceramic Spray, it will make your car look amazing.

[@armanls3656]

Great tutorial

[@nhr27]

Great tutorial thank you! What will change the next time you wash this car? I assume you will not want to remove the wax. Do you skip the prewash?

[@808jspekeg6]

👎.
To dry, don't use towels. Spray gyeon wet coat lightly on the surface and pressure washer rinse off. Use a high powered blower (i.e. ego 650) and a mini blower ( Adams mini blower).

[@Stargazer10000]

Thanks for sharing this nice & informative video! Can you recommend any car valet services in Dublin?

[@zayxoxo]

[@MlleVB]

Do you still use the grit guard?

[@shahinaneha9029]

Any particular brand you suggest..about this liquid

[@detailinghow3862]

Bilt Hamber Labs or Carpro

[@shahinaneha9029]

What was the liquid that you sprayed.?!

[@detailinghow3862]

Do you mean the Iron Remover? I usually use Carpro Iron X but on this occasion, it was Autoglym Magma.

[@alexpelico4649]

[@superbird24]

Only problem remaining is owning an EV…
