Car washes
The best way to get a general clean is by going to a car wash. These are usually offered at gas stations or as standalone businesses. They can be pricey but sometimes gas stations with give deals if you fill up your fuel tank and buy a car wash with it. Make sure to use vehicle safe soap and not household cleaning products. The car safe soap is designed to break down dirt without eating away at the exterior paint coating.
Wipes
There are designated wipes for the exterior of your vehicle. They are strong enough to break down the dirt without causing harm to the surface of your vehicle.
Use a few buckets of water
We suggest using three separate buckets of water when you are washing your vehicle. One bucket is filled with clean soapy water, one is filled with water to rinse and the other should be mixed with cleaning product to clean only your wheels.
