Tips for Using the Two-Bucket Method and Foam Cannon, and Why a Wash Plan with Our Company is a Smart Investment
Maintaining your car's appearance after a paint correction/ceramic coating is essential to ensure the longevity of your investment. After investing time and money in enhancing your car's appearance, you want to make sure that it remains in pristine condition for as long as possible.
After your car has undergone the paint correction and ceramic coating process, it's important to follow a regular maintenance schedule to keep your car looking its best. Here are some tips on how to maintain your car's appearance:
Avoid automatic car washes: Automatic car washes can cause damage to your car's paint and ceramic coating. The brushes used in automatic car washes can create swirl marks and scratches on the surface of your car. It's best to avoid automatic car washes altogether and opt for a hand wash.
Use high-quality car care products: When washing your car, it's essential to use high-quality car care products that are designed for use on ceramic coated surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive products that can damage the coating.
Dry your car properly: After washing your car, it's important to dry it properly to avoid water spots. Use a high-quality microfiber towel or a drying aid to dry your car's surface thoroughly
Washing Your Vehicle:
The Two-Bucket Method:
The two-bucket method can be used for washing your car after a paint correction and ceramic coating to prevent swirl marks and scratches. Here are the steps to follow when using the two-bucket method:
Fill one bucket with clean water and another with a car wash solution.
Rinse your car thoroughly with water to remove any loose dirt and debris.
Dip your wash mitt into the soapy water bucket, and wash a small section of your car at a time, starting from the top and working your way down.
After washing each section, rinse your wash mitt in the clean water bucket to remove any dirt and debris.
Repeat steps 3-4 until you have washed your entire car.
Rinse your car thoroughly with water to remove any remaining soap.
Dry your car with a high-quality microfiber towel or drying aid.
The Foam Cannon Method:
The foam cannon method is another great for washing your car after a paint correction and ceramic coating. Here are the steps to follow when using the foam cannon method:
Rinse your car thoroughly with water to remove any loose dirt and debris.
Fill your foam cannon attachment with car shampoo and water, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Apply a thick layer of foam to your car's surface, starting from the top and working your way down. Make sure to cover all areas of your car's surface.
Allow the foam to sit on your car's surface for a few minutes, allowing it to lift dirt and debris away from the surface.
Rinse your car thoroughly with water to remove the foam and any dirt and debris that it lifted.
Dry your car with a high-quality microfiber towel or drying aid.
