Perfect Car Care: Hand Washing and Drying with SWISSVAX
•
A thorough hand wash is essential to maintain the shine and value of your vehicle. With high-quality SWISSVAX products, car care becomes an effective and gentle experience. In this guide, you will learn how to optimally wash and dry your car and which products support you in the process.
Why Choose Hand Washing?
Manual car washing allows for precise cleaning while being gentler on the paint compared to automatic car washes. You have complete control over the materials and techniques used, minimizing the risk of scratches and paint damage.
Step-by-Step Guide to Hand Washing
1. Preparation
Make sure you have all the necessary equipment ready:
- SWISSVAX Hand Wash Collection
- Water buckets
- High-quality wash mitt or sponge
- Microfiber towels for drying
2. Pre-Wash
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with clean water to remove loose dirt. This step prevents scratches during the main wash.
3. Main Wash
Fill a bucket with water and add SWISSVAX Car Bath Auto Wash Concentrate. Use a second bucket with clean water to rinse your wash mitt. Start washing from top to bottom using straight-line motions to avoid swirl marks.
4. Rinse
Rinse the car again with clean water to remove all soap residues.
Proper Drying of the Vehicle
After washing, proper drying is crucial to avoid water spots and lime deposits.
1. Use a Water Blade
Remove excess water with the SWISSVAX Hydra Lip Water Blade. This tool quickly removes large amounts of water and is made from ultra-soft medical-grade silicone, ensuring safe use on your paint.
2. Drying with Microfiber Towels
Use the SWISSVAX Ultra-Dry Anthracite microfiber towel to absorb remaining water. Work from top to bottom and gently blot the water instead of rubbing.
