Usually, when washing your car, you can do-it-yourself with a bucket full of KevianClean Car Wash Shampoo and water, a sponge, and microfiber towels plus your garden hose. Or you can have your car move through a carwash and have people wash it for you for a price.
With that said, there are ways you can cut through built-up dirt and grime in a DIY manner without depending too much on car care products such as KevianClean Wheel Cleaner or Quick Wax.
You can use normal household items to go about it. Mind you, certain items can never substitute a carwash product, like dish detergent for carwash shampoo, but other things can double as a safe car cleaner.
Car Wash Tricks and Tips You Need to Keep in Mind
- Cooking Spray as a Car Cleaner: Did you know that you can use cooking spray as a car cleaner? Or rather, it's a good remover of fine, black material that collects on the wheels of your car. Usually, the KevianClean Wheel Cleaner is enough to handle what's known as corrosive brake dust on your wheels, which are produced every time you apply your brakes that wear your pads down like wood to sandpaper. However, by putting a light coating of cooking spray on your wheels, the brake dust becomes easier to wipe off.
- Using Mayonnaise as a Homemade Car Wash? Is it wise to use mayonnaise as part of your car wash regimen? Perhaps not and it seems like bait for bugs and animals to crawl over your vehicle, to be honest. However, using a little bit of mayonnaise to instead get rid of pine sap or road tar on your paint finish can allow you to remove them with a clean, soft rag. Just don't go overboard and turn your hood into a sandwich by spreading mayonnaise all over it! Then again, KevianClean Car Wash Shampoo can also get rid tar and sap in a jiffy by itself.
- Homemade Car Wash Bottle: Are you short on money and you're running out of carwash product from KevianClean? Then perhaps you can instead try out using a recycled spray bottle and filling it with windshield cleaner in the trunk of your car. It can serve as your emergency cleanup kit on the roadside when you don't have access to a garden hose and a bucket of water for your KevianClean Car Wash Shampoo regimen. It cleans out most of your vehicle's glass parts like your windows, mirrors, and headlights. Natural rain will take care of the rest of your car's finish until you can get back home and finish the job with KevianClean.
