Is your car very dirty? Normal, when you drive a lot...
But then, how to wash the outside of your car easily?
And above all, what product should I use to clean the bodywork without leaving traces?
Rest assured, no need to buy a special shampoo to wash your car!
Luckily, a mechanic buddy gave me a simple and effective trick to clean the body of a car by hand.
The trick is to use baking soda to get a car that shines fast. Watch:
- 4 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 liters of hot water
- dishwashing liquid so that it foams
- a sponge or a soft brush
- a basin
1. Fill the basin with hot water
2. Pour in the baking soda.
3. Add a few drops of washing up liquid.
4. Immerse the sponge in the bicarbonate water.
5. Pass it on all the bodywork, bumpers, rims and headlights.
6. Let the baking soda act for 5 min.
7. Rinse the bodywork with clean water and a clean sponge.
There you go, the body of your car is now nickel chrome without traces :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Plus, it's much more economical than going to a car wash!
No more squashed bug tracks, tree sap stains, dirty rims, caked-on dirt on headlights and windshield, and dust.
It's still cleaner that way, isn't it?
Of course, it works for all car colors:black, white, red, blue... and also old cars.
Baking soda is an excellent cleanser.
It dissolves grease and organic matter (dead insects, etc.) that have settled on the bodywork.
It is because of this dirt that dust adheres to the bodywork.
The baking soda takes them off and removes them without scratching the bodywork.
Baking soda is a mildly abrasive powder. But its small grains dissolve in hot water and do not damage bodywork paint or chrome.
The exterior of the car is therefore nickel, without scratches and without traces.
If stains are encrusted, sprinkle baking soda on the sponge and rub the stubborn stains. Then rinse with clean water.
Be careful with the paint on your car though!
Always do a test on a small part of the body not visible to see if the baking soda does not scratch.
Indeed, depending on the bicarbonate you have chosen, the grains are more or less fine.
