    Question Car Wash

    Me, I like to start with bug removal, then move to tires/wheels/fenderwells, then onto the body. What is your process when washing a car?

    You do wheel wells first?!? Are you not afraid of the grit scratching your rims?

    Most people do wheels first to avoid any dirt/mess getting on the paint after a session.

    Also, no need to start all the posts at once, try to at least pepper them around a little yes we all want to win, but no need to drop bombs.

    Re: Car Wash

    I normally do a 3 bucket wash. Normal 2bm for washing, and another bucket for wheels and tires. I start with wheels, wells, and tires, then move on to bugs and pretreat road tar and stuff down low, then follow up with a good wash. That`s of course when I don`t use ONR.

    Interesting. I still do the 2 bucket method. Wash with one and sit on the other

    Thanks for sharing your process

    Re: Car Wash

    I guess I usually do wheel area first then go after the pre-cleaning on paint: bugs, emblems, etc.
