Basic Clean?

[Little-Butch]

As soon as the Snow's gone I'm gunna give my Car a Clean. Inside and out.
I haven't got hardly any money at all so no new products :bored:

I was thinking, Pressure wash all over to remove dirt, then wash with some sort of Shampoo? And then Pressure wash again to rinse off? Then dry (haven't got anything special for this)?

Then what? I really am a noob when It comes to this!

Basic would be

Rinse with the hose to get any loose dirt off before pounding it against your paint with the pressure washer
then pressure wash
clean with a wash mitt, not sponge with car shampoo
rinse the water off
dry it

then ideally you want to put a layer of polish on, and then a layer of wax. these protect your paint work and reveal a nice shine

that's a basic wash in my eyes really

I haven't got any Shampoo..

I've got Mer Polish and Auto Glym Super Resin Polish.

Super resin polish would be fine, but you can't wash your car without shampoo.. don't use washing up liquid! :P

[Little-Butch]

So you'd choose the Autoglym over the Mer?
And yea I know, might have to ask Mummy nicely to get me some Shampoo! :P What would you reccomend mate?

Need to get the bastard Hose and Pressure washer sorted out Tomorrow, It always seems to blow fuses!

Couldn't find my Pressure Washer so I rinsed with Hose, Washed using cheap mitten and Triple something shampoo then hosed down and then dryed with a Towel.

I know It's not perfect but I didn't have a Drying cloth and couldn't afford one really! :(

Also 'Bumper restored' the Plastic trim, will do untill I spray them gloss black.

It's dirty already, I've got the tough stuff off so I plan on rinsing It again and then polishing, maybe Tomorrow?
