Washing Basics

[imported_walt]

A year ot two ago there was an excellent article on how to correclty wash your car-

It was not about using a particular product-just the steps- It was excellent and I lost it

and cant find on the boards-



does anyone have this??? or their instructions? I think its probably the only thing I do correctly! But my Brother in Law just got a 2006 (grrrrr) M3 and is cluless-

like he will bring it to a rotary car wash-

I picked him up some MF towels - Pinnacle shampoo- soverign paste etc....but would love to send him these directions- plese let me know if someone has them?



tks

Also, if you just click on the "learn" link at the top of this page you'll find all kinds of good instructional stuff.

There's also Accumulator's famous technique

The Accumulator non-marring wash technique pretty much is the "be all end all" of safe ways to wash a car. However, I only do it on my Intrepid, and nothing else, simply because it's waay too time consuming. The other method I use most commonly is the two bucket method, along with the foam gun added to insure extra lubricity.
