That Extra Touch By Washing Your SUV Yourself

By Charles E. Hamilton


No doubt about it if you maintain your car's appearance not only do you look finer when you drive down the street proudly in vehicle, but also when it comes time for trade in not only will your car command a higher trade in value, but as well will be more desirable by the dealer or a private purchaser that is if you sell your auto yourself privately.

Aside from mechanical aspects of your automobile, the majority of professional used car appraisers , auto auction professional buyers or just plain Jane run of the mill late model auto purchasers look first and foremost in their first impressions for rust , dents on the body of the vehicle and also the condition of your auto upholstery and carpeting. Be proud of your new or premium used vehicle. A basic recommendation of car wholesalers who deal with myriads of vehicle purchases in a flash is to have your car, truck or SUV carefully washed ,cleaned & vacuumed. You will more than get your money back for your investment and as well complete the sale of your vehicle much more quickly and for a higher selling price.

Firstly you can take your auto to a commercial car wash. These can be "full service" that is a full wash with a team of cleaners in and out. This is nice, impresses many women as they have visions of such a "team" fully and thoroughly cleaning their home in such a manner - sweeping through home like a tornado. You will get a clean vehicle but it's a little bit pricey and if you live in a smaller center you may not have such a full service "car wash" in your area. Next in line you can visit a self service car wash. Usually these have high pressure nozzles, along with a vacuum cleaner to allow you to vacuum your vehicle's interior fully, wash with the high pressure nozzle with a cleaning brush to wet your vehicle with soapy hot water, spray the vehicle and dirty areas with the high pressure nozzle spraying out hot soapy water, and finally rinsing your auto's exterior fully. Lastly many commercial do it yourself automobile "buggy baths" provide you with a final spray wax finish to leave a beautiful sheen on your now clean auto.

Yet there is nothing nicer than washing your car in your driveway on a sunny afternoon. While being convenient with "one stop shopping" - that is hot water , soap, a high pressure cleaning nozzle as well as cleaning brush and vacuum all in one place a buggy bath may overall be not such a great bargain to you as an auto owner both in terms of time , convenience and cost. The car wash may be crowded at peak times when you are free and off work - weekends for example. Secondly you may be rushed in your efforts both in terms of time allowed by the coin meter feeding the hot water to wash your car. You may not notice imperfect cleaning until you are out in the sun, away from the cleaning away, drying your vehicle.

Lastly dry your car, truck or SUV fully and completely with a clean, damp chamois or alternatively a towel. Now you can stand back and admire your results. Pleasant driving in your perfectly clean automobile as you traverses the highways of life and liberty.
