What Tools Are Required for washing your car

When washing your car its important to ensure that the tools you use are friendly to your car's paintwork and other surfaces. Cordless car polisher should be used to ensure that any small particles of dirt that are removed from your car and accumulate at the bottom of the bucket are not picked up by your washing implement and redeposited and drawn over the surface of the paintwork as this would result in fine scratches and swirl marks being inflicted.

A soft high quality wash mitt should be used to wash your car instead of a sponge, this ensures that any small particles of dirt are drawn into the fibers of the mitt and again avoid being drawn over the surface of the paintwork.

You should use a good quality shampoo product to wash your car, ideally a mild 'wax friendly' product that will not degrade any protection that may have been applied to the vehicle.

A variety of soft and stiff bristled detailing brushes can prove to be very useful when washing your car. Soft brushes can be used to access areas such as grills, trim details and badges during washing, whilst stiffer brushes can be used to agitate and remove ingrained dirt from wheels for example.
