Many do-it-yourself car washes have been shut out of business in recent times. There are a few self-service car washes are hit or miss or. It’s a great option that costs only a couple of dollars However, if you’re not moving quickly you’ll have to charge this machine. It can raise the cost.

Another option is as I did as a child during Minnesota winters, is to use a high pressure sprayer, is to wash all the dirt away from your vehicle. Make use of soapy water in a bucket together with an abrasive glove made of microfiber that you’ve brought from home to wash your vehicle. Make use of the high-pressure sprayer to clean the vehicle and perform the spot-free wash using soft water. It’s a lot work, but your car will sparkle with pride and you won’t ruin the look of your car.
