There are still a few nice days left in the season before the cold weather comes. I am trying to squeeze in as many outdoor activities as possible, as I am sure you are, too. One thing that might not cross your mind as a fun outdoor activity is washing your car. It not only provides a clean vehicle, but you can simultaneously save money and get some exercise!
The first thing you will need is a hose, preferably with a spray nozzle, attached to some sort of water supply. You can typically find a hook up for your hose along the outside of your house someplace, which has a faucet you can screw the hose into. Now that you have got that under control, you need car wash supplies.
There are a variety of different brands and types that you can use, but one thing is for certain, which is that you need a sponge! A big sponge is best to cover the large surface area of the car. You can use a natural sea sponge or a synthetic sponge, the choice is yours! A sturdy bucket is the next of the car wash supplies. You can use any sort of bucket, provided that it holds at least a couple of gallons of water. A bucket and sponge would be no good, however, without some car wash soap!
There are many different types of car wash soap that you can buy, but make sure that the kind you pick is specially formulated for washing your vehicle. House hold dish soap might harm the finish of your car, so it is best to stick with the real thing. Once you have the basic car wash supplies needed, you can being washing.
If you want to make your car look even more amazing, there are a couple of other things you can look into. A chamois cloth is good to have to dry your car by hand so it does not streak. Once your car dries, you can use special car wax to give it a beautiful shine that can make it look like new again. From soap to wax, all of these supplies can be purchased at your local grocery store or a specialty shop. Although the initial cost of buying these items might seem more than the price of a car wash, you can use them again and again, saving you quite a bit of money in the long run. Do it yourself car washing is an all around win, and between the sun and exercise, you will be cruising around your spotless hot rod with a smile!
