Wash Your Nissan Like A Pro

Washing your car is a fantastic spring activity not only for you but for the whole family! What better sight is there than the kids out in the driveway, giving your car a good wash? Well, we’ve got some great tips for washing your car properly. Check them out!

Your first step should be to park in the shade (no direct sunlight) and then rinse your car off thoroughly. The first few washes of the spring should also include a deep rinse of the undercarriage, just to make sure all the salt from the winter is gone.

Next, get your specially formulated car soap or shampoo (NEVER use dish soap) and a clean microfiber cloth or mitt and wash your vehicle a panel at a time in long, straight strokes. Never wash in a circular motion, and make sure to rinse off your mitt/cloth often!

Let the soap sit on your vehicle for a minute while you focus on the wheels. Using a dedicated wheel brush, get between the spokes and in the little crevices you might have missed ordinarily. A lot of dirt can hide in there, so get rid of it!

Now you should give your car a good rinse with a medium pressure blast from the hose. Don’t let it air-dry, either. Dry every panel with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Letting water dry on your car leaves spots, rings, and deposits that are tough to get rid of.

The last step, should you choose (and you should), is to apply a protectant spray or wax after you’re done drying off your vehicle to maintain the nice work you’ve done and protect your vehicle from dirt, debris, and other road gunk.
