Follow the two-bucket method. Use one bucket to soap the car and the other to rinse it.

 1. Use a sponge/microfibre cloth to spread the car wash shampoo on the surface, in a circular motion.
2. Dip the sponge/cloth into the water bucket to clean it before diping it into foam bucket and move to wash other portion
3. Rinse off the foam on the car and dry it with a chamois or microfiber cloth.This completely removes all the soap without leaving any streaks or residue.

A car wash foam shampoo with a foam gun machine is the best way to remove stubborn dirt. This creates more suds which absorbs the dirt from the car. If you don't have a foam gun, you can still clean your car till it shines! Allow the suds to soak for longer before cleaning the surface of your car with a microfibre cloth. To ensure that your car stays clean for longer, finish it off with a layer of car wax. This makes it easier for you to clean your car during your next car wash.

A general cloth may have some dirt embedded in it and when it is used to wipe the car body, it could scratch the paint. Instead, a detailing cloth or a microfibre cloth is best as it is gentle on the surface and does not leave scratch marks and patches.

Depending on your car's condition one layer is usually all it takes to get a 'new car' shine!

1. Applying each layer by sections on the car.
2. Applying only a thin layer each time.

1. Waxing their cars in direct sunlight. The liquid or past car wax would dry quicker in the sun and this could lead to white residue.
2. Applying wax directly on the surface instead of on the applicator. This may lead to dark and uneven streaks.
3. Not allowing the car to dry before applying a wax layer. This could result in swirl marks in your finishing except 3M Paste Wax and 3M Marine Paste Wax.
