3 Signs You’re Washing Your Vehicle the Wrong Way
Share
Washing your vehicle regularly is good but only if you’re doing it right. Improper wash habits can damage your vehicle over time, even if you're washing it often. Let's break down the three most common signs that your wash routine is causing more harm than good.
Sign 1: Swirl Marks & Fine Scratches Caused by using dirty or low-quality cloths. Dragging dirt across the surface with low-lubricity products leads to micro-abrasions.
Sign 2: Dull or Faded Panels This happens when harsh soaps strip away UV protection and wax layers, leaving the paint unprotected against sun damage.
Sign 3: No Beading Effect When Water Hits the Surface Your protective layer (wax/sealant) has worn off — often due to high pH soaps or abrasive cleaners.
Solutions:
-
Use pH-balanced EVO Shampoo.
-
Adopt the two-bucket method (one for soap, one for rinsing).
-
Always use a clean, premium microfiber cloth.
