As the spring air hits, it is time to think about washing and waxing your car and getting the winter salt and dirt off your vehicle. If you’re tired of using carwash products that don’t clean well or are abrasive to the finish of your vehicle, then give Voodoo Ride’s line of premier vehicle appearance products a try.
“No matter what your grandpa told you, it takes a whole lot more than love and elbow grease to get your car clean,” said Chris Ferraro, president, CEO and co-founder, along with Dale Earnhardt Jr., of Voodoo Ride. “Quality car care is all about technology. Voodoo Ride is the next generation of car care products to get your car cleaner than you ever thought possible. Top to bottom, inside and out, from the tires to the dash, your car will never look better when you use Voodoo Ride products.”
According the Car Care Council, more than one-third of car owners use damaging non-automotive products when washing their cars. These are products that could contain harmful detergents, abrasives and additives. In addition, almost half of motorists don't ever wax their vehicles.
Washing an automobile on a regular basis protects it from the natural elements that harm the finish. In addition, maintaining a vehicle’s appearance can be worth as much as 50 percent more than a vehicle in “fair” condition, according to the Kelley Blue Book.
The Car Care Council recommends the following dos and don'ts when it comes to a do-it-yourself car wash:
- Don't wash cars in direct sunlight. Do wash cars in shade or in cooler temperatures in the early morning or late afternoon.
- Don't use dish detergent. Do use a formulated car wash.
- Do fill your bucket with warm water.
- Do use a soft terrycloth towel.
- Do spray the car often with water.
- Don't scrub the car all at once. Do complete one section at a time, rinsing repeatedly to prevent the soap from drying on the paint.
- Do use soft terrycloth towels or scratch-free fabric to dry the vehicle.
- Don't neglect waxing the vehicle. Do prep the car for waxing using cleaner/polish to remove contaminants.
