Why Preparation Matters
Preparing your car before an advanced wash helps protect its finish, ensures a more thorough clean, and prevents potential issues during the process.
1. Remove Personal Belongings
Why: Personal items can get lost or damaged, and cluttered interiors may not receive proper cleaning.
How: Take out valuables, electronics, and personal items from compartments, seats, and cupholders.
2. Fold in Side Mirrors and Retract Antennas
Why: Prevents damage to fragile exterior components.
How: Fold mirrors inward manually and retract antennas if your vehicle allows.
3. Check for Loose or Damaged Parts
Why: Prevents further damage to existing issues.
How: Inspect for loose trim, broken parts, or areas needing repair before the wash.
4. Pre-Treat Stains and Heavy Dirt
Why: Helps lift tough stains and dirt that a standard wash may not remove.
How: Apply a stain remover or pre-wash treatment to affected areas before arriving.
5. Ensure Proper Tire Pressure
Why: Prevents uneven movement through the wash system.
How: Check and adjust tire pressure to match the manufacturer’s recommendations.
6. Close All Windows and Doors
Why: Prevents water from leaking into the interior.
How: Double-check that all windows, doors, and the sunroof are fully closed.
7. Remove Any Exterior Accessories
Why: Custom add-ons could get damaged during the wash.
How: Temporarily remove removable accessories like license plate frames or spoilers.
