If you are anything like me you might hope that an upcoming rain storm will clean your car only to be dissapointed that your car looks much worse after. What’s going on? shouldn’t a shower of water wash away the dirt? Well, not exactly. There are several reasons why rain will leave your car looking worse than before. The rain will pick up the dirt but it will eventually leave the same dirt on your car. It will only move it around. Most of the time rain doesn’t have the force to remove the dirt from the vehicle. And lastly, if you don’t dry the water off your are subject to water and dirt spots. Let’s look at each of these reasons a little closer.

When I was younger I wanted to wash my family’s car but never knew if we had the right kind of water. Since I’ve grown up and entered the world of detailing I’ve learned much more about what types of water are best. You can wash your car using hard water but you’ll have to take some precautions to ensure you get a water spot free wash. Hard water contains more minerals which make the water less favorable.

We all prefer having a clean car to a dirty one but that doesn’t stop life from happening. It’s too easy to let trash and other things pile up. However, there are some real benefits to keeping your car clean.

When I was younger I often wanted to wash the family car but I was always a little hesitant. I didn’t know if the water we had would be good or bad for the car. Looking back I can’t help but smile. Not only is soft water perfectly fine but soft water is actually better to wash your car with. Using soft water will help minimize any water spots drying onto your vehicle.

A hose is very helpful to have when it comes to washing your car. It makes things flow much easier (pun intended). However, not everyone has access to a hose. Fortunately, there are ways that you can wash your car without a hose. The best methods of washing your car without a hose are to use a waterless wash or a rinse-less wash. You can find these kinds of products online. All you need are some microfiber towels, waterless wash or rinseless wash, and a bucket of water. It doesn’t really matter which ones you pick. Choose one, use it, and then try another one if you didn’t like it.
