Car washing.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to wash your car safely and effectively:

Pre-wash:

1. Gather necessary supplies:

    - Mild car wash soap

    - Soft-bristled brush or sponge

    - Microfiber towels

    - Hose with spray nozzle

    - Drying towels

    - Tire cleaner (optional)

2. Remove loose debris: Start by removing any loose dirt, twigs, or other items from the car's exterior.

3. Disconnect the battery: To prevent any accidental short circuits or electrical shocks, disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery.

Washing:

1. Rinse the car: Start by rinsing the car thoroughly with water to remove any dirt, dust, or debris.

2. Mix car wash soap: In a bucket, mix the car wash soap with water according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Wash the car: Use a soft-bristled brush or sponge to gently scrub the car's exterior, starting from the top and working your way down. Avoid using circular motions, which can create scratches.

4. Clean wheels and tires: Use a separate brush and soap to clean the wheels and tires.

5. Rinse the car again: Use the hose to rinse the car thoroughly, ensuring all soap is removed.

Drying:

1. Dry the car: Use microfiber towels to dry the car, starting from the top and working your way down.

2. Clean windows and mirrors: Use a separate microfiber cloth and glass cleaner to clean the windows and mirrors.

3. Dry wheels and tires: Use a separate microfiber cloth to dry the wheels and tires.

Post-wash:

1. Reconnect the battery: Once you've finished washing and drying the car, reconnect the negative (black) cable to the battery.

2. Inspect and clean any remaining areas: Check the car for any remaining dirt, dust, or streaks, and clean as needed.

Note: Remember to wash your car in a shaded area, avoid using high-pressure washes, and never use household cleaners or strong detergents, which can damage the car's paint and other surfaces.
