When it comes to choosing a car wash, the options seem almost endless. \u00a0One of my personal favorites, which\u00a0I use on every car I work on is Chemical Guys Citrus Wash<\/a>. \u00a0For an inexpensive option, this premium shampoo packs quite the punch. \u00a0Depending on the ratio used while washing, it can be used for simply a maintenance wash when mixed at a ratio of 1-oz. (full cap) per 5 gallons. \u00a0When mixed at a stronger ratio of 1-oz. per gallon, it will strip wax and other contaminants from the surface leaving a nice clean contaminant free surface.<\/p>\n

I start my washing process using 3-4-oz. of Citrus Wash in my DI Foam Lance<\/a> for a strong pre-treatment prior to my standard two-bucket method.<\/p>\n

\"KMG<\/p>\n

Citrus Wash provides a nice thick coat of suds, which really cling to the surface while breaking down contaminants for easy removal.<\/p>\n

After being left to dwell<\/a> for roughly five (5) minutes and a thorough rinse, I will proceed to a two-bucket method<\/a> wash using the stronger ratio of Citrus Wash as I want a nice clean surface to begin my work. \u00a0I like to use three (3) gallon wash buckets as they are easier to move around and require less water. \u00a0I typically fill my buckets 2\/3 of the way and add roughly two (2) oz. of shampoo, which as seen below will provide lots of suds.<\/p>\n

\"KMG<\/p>\n

I like using a DI Microfiber Chenille Zero Cuff Wash Mitt<\/a> or Lake Country Blue Grout Sponge<\/a> while washing, which are both very soft. \u00a0When paired with the thick suds of Chemical Guys Citrus Wash this makes for a very safe wash on the surface of your vehicle.<\/p>\n
