Washing and Drying - Facts and Tips

• Always use two wash buckets, one with shampoo and water, and one with rinse water

• Using a Grit Guard insert helps release contamination from your wash mitt

• Use a separate wash media for your wheels and tires, heavy contaminated areas, and lightly contaminated areas

• Pre-treat heavily contaminated areas of your vehicle with a degreaser

• Rinse your wash media as frequently as possible (every panel or so)

• The more contaminated your vehicle is, the more often you should rinse your mitt or sponge

• It's good practice to wash weekly or every two weeks
