Armorall Ultra Shine Wash & Wax is a 2-in-1 car wash that cleans and waxes your vehicle in one easy step. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to properly use it:
Supplies Needed
- Armorall Ultra Shine Wash & Wax
- Sponge or wash mitt
- Bucket
- Hose with spray nozzle attachment
- Microfiber drying towels
Instructions
-
Rinse your car thoroughly with water first to remove any loose dirt or debris. Make sure to spray water across the entire surface of the vehicle.
-
Fill a bucket with clean water. For best results, use lukewarm water if possible. Add Armorall Ultra Shine Wash & Wax to the water according to the dilution ratio listed on the bottle. Typically it’s an ounce or two per gallon of water.
-
Soak your sponge, wash mitt or soft brush in the soap solution. Apply the soapy solution to the car working from the top down. Make sure to get the soap into all cracks and crevices. Allow the solution to dwell for 2-3 minutes before washing.
-
Wash the vehicle section by section using straight back and forth motions. Do not rub in circles as this can create swirl marks. Rinse off each section thoroughly before moving on to keep soap from drying on the paint.
-
For wheels and tires, use a dedicated brush or sponge to clean them. Pay close attention to brake dust buildup.
-
For door jambs and hard to reach areas, use a soft brush dipped in the soap solution. This will lift dirt from crevices.
-
Rinse the entire vehicle again with clean water to remove all traces of soap. The car wash should now have a glossy, slick feel due to the wax in the formula.
-
Dry the vehicle with microfiber drying towels. Wipe in straight lines to prevent water spots. You can use a leaf blower to get into cracks and dry mirrors, door jambs, etc.
Tips
- Wash your car in sections and rinse as you go to prevent soap from drying on the paint
- Use the two-bucket wash method for best results. One bucket to hold the soap solution, and one bucket with plain water to rinse your mitt or sponge.
- Dry the car immediately with microfiber towels to prevent water spots.
- Don’t wash your car in direct sunlight or if the surface is hot. This can cause water to evaporate quickly leading to water spots.
- Inspect your wash mitt or sponge frequently and remove any debris or grit to prevent swirl marks.
