Cars

There are still a few nice days left in the season before the cold weather comes. Like myself, you are probably trying to get in as many outdoor activities as possible. One thing that might not cross your mind as a fun outdoor activity is washing your car. Not only does it provide exercise, and a clean vehicle but it also saves you money in the long run!

The first thing you will need is a hose, preferably with a spray nozzle, attached to some sort of water supply. You can typically find a hook up for your hose along the outside of your house someplace, which has a faucet you can screw the hose into. To get started, you will need a few car wash supplies.

There are a variety of different brands and types that you can use, but one thing is for certain, which is that you need a sponge! The best kind to use is large, to cover the big surface area of the car. You can use a natural sea sponge or a synthetic sponge, the choice is yours! A sturdy bucket is the next of the car wash supplies. As long as the bucket holds at least two gallons of water, you can use just about any sort. However, a bucket and sponge would be no good without a little bit of car wash soap!

There are many different types of car wash soap that you can buy, but make sure that the kind you pick is specially formulated for washing your vehicle. It is best to stick with the real thing, since house hold soaps could ruin the finish on your car. Once you have the basic car wash supplies needed, you can being washing.

If you want to make your car look even more amazing, there are a couple of other things you can look into. A chamois cloth is good to have to dry your car by hand so it does not streak. Once your car dries, you can use special car wax to give it a beautiful shine that can make it look like new again. Just about all of these supplies can be purchased at your local grocery or specialty shop. Although the initial cost of buying these items might seem more than the price of a car wash, you can use them again and again, saving you quite a bit of money in the long run. Washing your own car is an all around win for car owners, with the added benefits of getting some sun and exercise, you will be driving your spotless hot rod around with a smile!
