How to wash your own car in a high-rise community?
To help everyone solve this problem
I decided to challenge myself to washing my own car in the neighborhood
And it is washed within 30 minutes
I account for the timing of each step
See how long it will take to finally wash the car
First, the tools that need to be prepared in advance (can be recycled):
Car wash gloves
Collect water towels
Split type water tank
Interior cleaning brush
Tire brushing
Lithium battery car washer
Second, the material that will be consumed:
Car wash clay (volcanic mud)
Tire curing agent
Multi-effect one car wash fluid
Universal interior cleaner
Third, the process: (do not be impulsive before starting, please move to the fourth article to see the precautions first)
1. Assemble the car wash machine (takes 2 minutes);
First insert the battery, cover the waterproof cover, then connect the inlet pipe, connect the filter at the other end of the inlet pipe, then connect the outlet pipe, and connect the other end of the outlet pipe to the gun head.
Then use a split water tank to fill a tank of water, the general community will have a convenient faucet, if there is no convenience faucet, it is also very convenient to pick up a tank of water from home and drag it downstairs.
Finally, put the filter of the inlet pipe through the water tank cover into the water tank, open the switch of the car washer, and you can start at any time.

2. Pre-wash paint (6 minutes);
First, the multi-effect car wash liquid and water are in a 1:5 ratio, fill the foam pot, and then connect the water gun and shake it, and you can spray it directly on the car paint.
When spraying, pay attention to spraying from top to bottom, and spray slightly upwards, because the foam is flowing downwards, so that the foam hanging area will be larger.

After the whole car sprays the pre-washing liquid, wait for 5 minutes to let the foam hang fully, and replace the foam pot on the gun head with the flush gun head in the gap between the waiting.
After 5 minutes, you can directly rinse off the remaining foam on the body, pay attention to the lower part of the body, because the lower part of the body will stick to a lot of dust, dirt, asphalt and other impurities.
After doing this step, I looked at the water in the water tank and found that only about 1/8 of the water was used.
3. Car wash paint (12 minutes);
My personal car wash habit is to divide the car paint into three parts: upper, middle and lower to clean separately.
Paint upper: hood, roof, ABC columns, rear tailgate.
Paint middle: front and rear fenders, upper part of the door.
Paint lower part: front and rear bumpers, lower half of the doors, side beams.
First wash the upper part of the car paint, change back to the foam pot, mix a lot of effective car wash fluid, and then spray the entire hood, and then scrub with the car wash gloves vertically or horizontally, pay attention not to too much force!
Then, in the same way, the roof and rear doors are cleaned.

After washing the upper part of the car paint, take off the car wash gloves for one side, and wash the middle of the car paint with a clean other side;
The method of cleaning the middle of the paint is similar to the front, or spray the foam first, and then gently use gloves, horizontal or vertical scrub on the line.
But here to pay special attention to, the middle of the paint will be a little dirtier than the upper part, so when washing about a third, you can change another pair of new car wash gloves and continue to scrub;
This saves time in cleaning gloves halfway through and minimizes scratches from the paint from being covered with particles in the gloves.
(Because a pair of car wash gloves has 4 sides, 1 face is used to wash the cleanest upper body part, and the other 3 sides can be used to wash the middle of the slightly dirty body)
Finally, clean the lower part of the paint, or spray the foam first, and then gently adhere to the car paint with the car wash clay, and then slide left and right.
When one side of the car wash clay is stained with impurities, you can fold it in half, put a dirty loaf of bread in, and then continue to use the clean side to scrub the next piece of car paint;
After washing, I looked at the water in the tank again, and found that there was still half a bucket of water in the tank!
4. Rinse the paint (3 minutes);
Replace the flushing gun head and adjust the outlet water into a fan-shaped mode, which has a large flushing area and can flush off most of the residual car wash foam on the surface of the body as quickly as possible;
Then adjust the water outlet to a columnar pattern, you can wash the window gaps, the gaps in the windshield, the gaps between the body sheet metal, the gaps under the doors, and so on.
Finally, spread the water collection towel on the hood, and then pull the towel corner and gently pull it, and the water will be wiped clean, it is as simple as that;
The water collection operation for the rest of the body is also like this, which is very simple! The multi-effect car wash liquid I used this time, in addition to the pre-washing function, there is also a glazing effect, so after receiving the water, it is obvious that the car paint is shiny!
This step is actually the most wasteful, but after flushing the car, I found that there was still a small half tank of water left!
5. Tire glazing (takes 2 minutes);
Spray the tire conditioner directly on the side of the tire, or spray it directly on the glazing brush and then brush it directly.
One tire is glazed in 30 seconds, and it takes 2 minutes to complete all 4 wheels.
6. Interior cleaning (4 minutes);
First, the general interior cleaner is sprayed evenly on the interior surface, and the dashboard, steering wheel, gear, seat, door panel, and foot pads can be sprayed directly.
Then use the interior cleaning brush, direct brush brush brush can be! The active agent compound biological enzyme technology that I use is unique to this universal cleaner can break down very stubborn stains.
After brushing, you can dry it directly with a towel, and you don't need to wash it twice with water, which is very convenient!
The last small half tank of water left, I rinsed the floor of the community, after all, everyone has the responsibility to take care of the environment!
In this way, the cleaning inside and outside the whole car is complete! I only spent 28 minutes and 55 seconds in total!
Finally, let's take a look at the comparison before and after cleaning:
Paint exterior
Rear bumper
tyre
Rearview mirrors
steering wheel
If you also want to do your own car wash in the community, you may wish to follow the above steps to try it yourself, I believe you will love to wash your own car!
IV. Precautions:
1. The blue font in the text can be clicked;
2. More detailed and complete car wash process in episode 205 of "Car Master Brother" (the car paint is getting darker and darker, how to wash it is not as bright as before?) You may wish to try this washing in the community yourself), if you are interested, you can look back.
3, when washing the car should be carried out in the shade, it is best to be cold car state, otherwise the foam may dry on the paint, so that the cleaning effect will become worse;
4, car wash liquid will slowly soften the impurities on the paint, so do not use brute force to wipe hard, horizontal and vertical rubbing several times can be wiped clean, do not draw circles to wipe, so easy to cause ugly sun patterns;
5, the best water towel is a towel with fiber bulges on the surface, commonly known as "tadpole cloth", the water collection effect of this towel is the best;
6. A more detailed and complete interior cleaning process is in episode 22 of the second season of "Brother Who Picks Up the Car" (refuse to be greasy!) Teach yourself to do the interior fine washing, 1 hour to wash off the 16 years of the paste), interested can also look back.
7, although I use a lithium battery car washer, but its water pressure is also as high as 65 kg! Close to 220v plug-in car wash machine, you can easily rinse off the impurities on the paint! And full of electricity, you can wash 3 cars!
