Audi A4 Summer Prep

[Preachers Sheets]

I would like to wash my car, it was painted 3 days ago. Came out so darn good, way beyond what I thought. Looks awesome now.



I would use a cotton mitt and a bucket of warm water and a really really mild spray hose. Like the "shower" nozzle. Won`t spray more than 2 feet.

Yes, you can wash it.

This lady is super nice. She actually washes her car by hand. But unfortunately doesn`t do anything to the interior. She also has a 1 year old baby girl who likes to throw debris in the back seat.

The car is less than a year old, so the paint was in pretty good shape. The only issue was the passenger side is always parked in direct aim of her sprinklers. So it had water spots down the entire passenger side.

It took about 10 hours. Not too bad. I am getting faster. The wheel wells in the back did not come as clean as I would have liked. They have a weird material covering them. Not "easy to clean" plastic covers like the front. The wheels also had plastic covers that had been damaged by a tire shop, I could not fix them.

I would have liked to get the wheels wells cleaner, and the inside, very back of the rims. I know some people remove the wheels. I don`t have the equipment to do that. I am going to have to look around for a better brush of some kind.....
