Keeping your vehicle clean is essential for maintaining its appearance & longevity. Regular washing not only improves the vehicle’s aesthetics but also prevents damage from dirt, debris, & environmental factors.
Step 1: Rinse the Vehicle
Start by thoroughly rinsing your vehicle with water only. This helps remove loose dirt, dust, and debris, preventing scratches when applying soap. Use a hose or a pressure washer for an even & effective rinse.
Step 2: Apply a D2 Pro Vehicle Cleaning Product & Wash
Choose one of our high-quality traffic film removers, Gleam Wash & Wax or Car Shampoo and dilute using the recommended dilution rates on the products technical data sheet. Apply traffic film removers (TFR) using the following methods:
- A pressure washer with a chemical injector
- A foam lance for a thick, clinging foam
- A spray bottle for targeted cleaning
- A bucket and brush for manual scrubbing
Start application at the bottom of the vehicle and work up. Agitate product with vehicle brush. Gleam Wash & Wax or Car Shampoo is for manually application only.
Step 3: Clean the Wheels
Wheels tend to accumulate the most dirt, grime, & brake dust. Use a separate brush or sponge to scrub the rims and tyres. Masterclean CDS PD will help lift dirt & grime. Rinse thoroughly to remove all residue.
Step 4: Rinse Off the Soap
After cleaning your vehicle, rinse it again with clean water. Ensure all product is washed off to avoid streaks or residue left on the surface.
Step 5: Dry the Vehicle (Optional)
Use a microfiber towel or a chamois to dry the car. Wiping the surface in straight motions helps prevent water spots and streaks. Make sure to dry the windows and mirrors thoroughly.
Step 6: Clean the Windows
Apply a Reflection Glass Cleaner to the windows and mirrors. Adjust spray nozzle to give a fine or course spray depending upon your requirements. Apply sparingly and then polish off with a clean dry absorbent lint free wipe or tissue to leave a sparkle.
Step 7: Interior Cleaning (Optional)
If you’re cleaning the vehicles interior, vacuum the seats, floor mats, and carpets. Wipe down the dashboard, centre console, and door panels with a mild cleaner and microfiber cloth.
Step 8: Final Touches and Inspection
Inspect the vehicle for any missed spots and make necessary touch-ups. Enjoy the fresh, clean look of your well-maintained vehicle!
