How to Pressure Wash Your Car the Right Way with Boltigen
Keeping your car looking fresh and clean is a point of pride, but it’s not always easy when dirt, grime, and road salt start to build up. Enter the Boltigen Pressure Washer—your ultimate sidekick for a pristine, showroom-worthy finish. But before you start blasting away, let’s walk through the right way to pressure wash your car using Boltigen products.
1. Choose the Right Pressure Washer
First things first, not all pressure washers are created equal. For car washing, you’ll want a pressure washer that delivers a safe, consistent flow of water. The Boltigen Pressure Washer is designed specifically with car care in mind, offering adjustable settings to suit every need. We recommend setting your pressure washer to 1,200-1,900 PSI to avoid damaging your car’s paint or trim.
2. Prep Your Car for a Deep Clean
Before you start washing, make sure your car is cool to the touch and parked in a shaded area. Direct sunlight can cause the soap to dry too quickly, leaving unsightly spots. Also, ensure all windows and doors are closed tightly to keep the interior dry.
3. Pre-Rinse with Water
Begin by giving your car a good rinse with water using the wide-angle nozzle on your Boltigen Pressure Washer. This helps remove loose dirt and debris, preventing scratches when you start scrubbing. Work from the top down, so dirt flows downward, avoiding re-soiling cleaned areas.
4. Apply Soap with a Foam Cannon
Now, it’s time to bring out the big guns—your Boltigen Foam Cannon. Fill the cannon with a high-quality car wash soap, attach it to your pressure washer, and coat your vehicle in a thick layer of foam. The foam cannon not only covers your car quickly but also ensures that the soap clings to the surface, breaking down dirt and grime more effectively.
5. Let the Soap Work Its Magic
After applying the foam, let it sit for a couple of minutes. This gives the soap time to break down stubborn dirt, making it easier to rinse off later. But don’t let it dry—if the soap starts to dry, reapply a light layer to keep it activated.
6. Scrub Gently with a Soft Mitt
While your pressure washer and foam cannon do most of the heavy lifting, a gentle scrub with a soft wash mitt will ensure every inch of your car is clean. Use a side-to-side motion and avoid circular scrubbing to prevent swirl marks. Remember to rinse your mitt frequently to avoid spreading dirt.
7. Rinse Thoroughly
Once you’re satisfied with your scrubbing, it’s time to rinse. Switch back to the wide-angle nozzle and thoroughly rinse your car from top to bottom. Make sure to remove all the soap, paying extra attention to areas where it tends to accumulate, like around the mirrors and in crevices.
8. Dry Your Car
After rinsing, it’s essential to dry your car to prevent water spots. Use a microfiber drying towel or a leaf blower to gently remove all water from the surface. Drying also helps you inspect your work for any missed spots.
9. Apply a Protective Wax
For that extra shine and protection, finish your wash with a high-quality wax. This will not only enhance your car’s appearance but also provide a protective layer against the elements. The Boltigen pressure washer is perfect for applying a spray wax evenly across the surface.
10. Maintain Your Pressure Washer
After all that work, don’t forget to take care of your equipment! Flush out any remaining soap from your Boltigen Pressure Washer and store it in a cool, dry place. Regular maintenance will ensure it’s ready to go for your next car wash session.
