Frequently Asked Questions

Dry the car immediately when washing. Many people prefer a chamois to remove the bulk of the water, others prefer a thirsty cotton (lint free) towel. However, a microfiber towel is perfect for the final wipe to remove the last of the water without streaking, especially on glass. They are also great for the intricate surfaces of chrome or aluminum wheels. When drying, work from the top down and be especially careful on glass since any streaks left behind are highly visible. Do the horizontal surfaces first because they do not drain as evenly and then the vertical areas. Finish with the wheels and tires. Don’t forget to wash the towels so they are clean and soft for the next time!

Using a garden hose, rinse loose dust and mud from the entire vehicle, including wheels, tires and undercarriage. Clean the wheels and tires next using a Black Magic® Wheel Cleaner for the wheels and Black Magic® Bleche Wite® for the tires. For the body of the vehicle, work from top to bottom, one section at a time to avoid drying in the sun, especially on warmer days. Use a generous amount of Black Magic® Wet Shine Car Wash in a pail of water. Wet the top of the vehicle and soap up the roof working down to the glass. Rinse immediately to avoid drying that can leave spots and streaks. Do the hood and front end areas next, rinsing immediately. Repeat for trunk area and the sides of the vehicle. If the vehicle has dried in warm or sunny weather, follow with a final rinse to avoid spots and streaks. Dry immediately.
