How to wash car by hand?

1. Park the car out of direct sunlight. This prevents premature drying which can leave splotches on the paint.

2. Set everything you will need near the car.

3. Fill a bucket with water and add car wash soap in the quantity directed on its bottle.

4. Fill another bucket with plain water.

5. Hose off the car to loosen the dirt. Don't use a strong jet, as this can rub grit over the paint and scratch it.

6. Soak a large wash mitt or sponge in the soapy water, being certain to wash out any dirt in it, and begin applying it to the car.

7. Wash the car section by section, starting at the top. Circle around the car several times, washing lower areas with each round.

8. Rinse frequently the dirt out of the wash mitt or sponge in the bucket with plain water.

9. After one section is washed, rinse it with the hose before moving on. You don't want the soap to dry on the paint and stain it.

10. As you progress, keep the entire car wet, as this will prevent droplets from drying on the paint and leaving water-spots. You want to be able to dry the car with towels before it air-dries.

11. Scrub the lower body and the wheels last, as these are the dirtiest, grittiest parts. It's a good idea to use a seperate wash mitt or sponge on the bottom six or so inches of the car's body, as this can get especially gritty. Use a long, skinny wheel-brush for cleaning the openings of the wheels, and steel-wool soap-pads on the tires, one or two per tire; remove all that dull-brown oxidized rubber.

12. Dry the vehicle with fresh towels.

13. If bug, tar or sap residue remain, remove it using the procedure to: Remove Bugs, Tar, and Sap from Your Car.
