Don't forget about the wax for that extra shine!
Step-by-Step Guide to Washing Your Car Like a Pro
Start with the wheels by taking a tire brush (a shoe brush will work too), car wash soap, or a dedicated wheel cleaner to clean your wheels thoroughly. Make sure to reach the nooks and crannies where dirt loves to hide.
give your car a good prewash or rinse to remove loose dirt and debris. Spray the car wash soap directly to your car and rinse. if you are unable to spray the soap onto your vehicle use a hose with a gentle spray or a pressure washer if available.
Mix your car wash soap in a bucket of water according to the instructions. Use a sponge or mitt to apply the soapy solution to your car without applying pressure, starting from the top and working your way down. Avoid washing in up and down strokes or circular motions, rather we wash in left to right strokes. When you reach the bottom of the vehicle rinse your wash mitt or sponge and repeat.

Once you've covered every inch of your car with soap, rinse off the suds using clean water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid soap residue.
Grab your microfiber towel and dry your car to prevent water spots. For that extra glossy finish, apply wax as directed on the packaging.
Wipe down your dashboard with an interior cleaner or multi-purpose cleaner.
Vacuum carpets and seats (If fabric), move seats back and forth for better reach.
DIY car washing saves you money and gives you the satisfaction of a job well done. So roll up your sleeves, put on your favorite playlist, and get washing!

Now that you're equipped with the knowledge of a successful DIY car wash, it's time to get your hands dirty (well, clean) and show your car some love!
