Ladies...have you ever really needed to was your car and you just couldn't bring yourself to do it? Perhaps it was too hot outside, and you didn't want to get sweaty, or how about this one..."no manual labor?" Yep, I've used every excuse under the sun. My poor car is lucky if it gets washed 4 times a year. Have you ever "not" needed to wash your car ladies but saw your neighbor outside washing his and found yourself in the garage making your car dirty? I have...I know sad, but true...Hey, sometimes there is just no easy way to meet your new neighbor so a girl has to do what a girl has to do. In today's society we find ways to be clever and we do whatever we can to flirt with someone in a fun, playful, sassy kind of way. While I was outside watching this incredible hunk a hunk of burning love soak his car with a sponge, I thought to myself...."Gee I never wash my car like that?!" Sooooo, just in case someday you should find yourself as I did in your driveway with a hose, soap and a sponge,....here are a few "Do's & Don'ts" for washing your car.
When should I wash the car?
Don't... wait for a layer of crud to accumulate before washing. Dead bugs, bird droppings, and chemicals from the atmosphere all leach acids that can strip away wax and eventually eat into your car's paint. If left too long, they can cause damage that requires sanding and repainting the area to correct.
Do... wash off dead bugs, bird droppings, and tree-sap mist as soon as possible. Other than this, a weekly car wash will keep the finish in its best shape. In addition, if you live in an area that suffers from acid rain, rinse your vehicle off after a period of rainy weather. Otherwise, acidic chemicals in the rainwater will be left on the surface after the droplets have evaporated, leaving a mark that can permanently mar the paint.
Are there any general guidelines I should follow when washing a car?
Don't... wash your car when the body is hot, such as immediately after driving it or after it has been parked in direct sunlight for awhile. Heat speeds the drying of soap and water, making washing more difficult and increasing the chances that spots or deposits will form.
Don't move the sponge in circles. This can create light, but noticeable scratches called swirl marks. Instead, move the sponge lengthwise across the hood and other body panels. And don't continue using a sponge that's dropped on the ground without thoroughly rinsing it out. The sponge can pick up dirt particles that can scratch the paint. This sounds like my father talking...
Do... rinse all surfaces thoroughly with water before you begin washing to remove loose dirt and debris that could cause scratching. Once you begin, concentrate on one section at a time, washing and rinsing each area completely before moving on to the next one. This ensures that you have plenty of time to rinse before the soap dries. Start at the top, and then work your way around the car.
Work the car-wash solution into a lather with plenty of suds that provide lots of lubrication on the paint surface. And rinse the sponge often. Using a separate bucket to rinse the sponge keeps dirt from getting mixed into the sudsy wash water. When rinsing, use a hose without a nozzle and let the water flow over the car from top to bottom. This creates a sheeting action that helps minimize pooling of water.
How should I dry the car when I'm done?
Don't... let the car air dry, and don't expect a drive around the block to do an effective job. Either will leave watermarks, which in areas with hard water are the minerals left after evaporation. In addition, don't use an abrasive towel or other material that can leave hairline scratches in the paint.
Do... use a chamois (natural or synthetic) or soft terry towels. If you choose towels, you may need several. It's best to blot the water up instead of dragging the towel or chamois over the paint. The drying process can go a lot quicker by using a soft squeegee to remove most of the water on the body, but be sure the rubber is pliable and that it doesn't pick up bits of dirt that can cause scratches.
Soooo, when you see a hottie outside and you don't know how to say hello....walk your dog, and if you don't have one, Good God, borrow someones,...or was your car. I find sitting on the front porch in a daze works too...you decide! Just in case this works to your advantage and you get your way, make certain that you have your best Simply Delicious Lingerie on under your clothes...a man loves a woman in sexy bra and panties!
