Next soak the car down with water; do this a couple of times. The water helps to loosen the dirt and grime. Submerge your wash cloth completely in the bucket of soap and water. Do not ring out the towel, take it dripping wet and start to wash you car. Start at the top and work your way down, using the wash cloth in a circular motion with a little bit of pressure.

After you have washed the whole car, rinse the car off completely to make sure you got all the soap off. This is important because if the soap dries, it will leave spots and actually attract dirt.

After you clean up the items you used, take a moment to look at the car. Look how clean it is, and remember the money you saved doing it yourself.
