Everything You Need to Carry Out a General Wash on Your car.
Most pressure washers these days come with Foam cannons however they tend to be rubbish however the New Ava Easy P57 comes with a premium Cannon. Grit guards will reduce the risk of dirt getting caught on your wash mitt but there still is a small risk of scratches so don't presume its 100% completely safe. I always start with either engine bay or the wheels. Once I finish the wheels I move on to the door Shuts (jambs) and then clean the petrol cap. Only then do I move on to the pre wash of the bodywork.

In most cases you will just use a citrus pre wash around the lower third of the car. Some people use traffic film removers which can be more aggressive so that comes down to your own preference if you decide to use it. (it is cheaper than citrus though) You can either rinse off or apply a layer of Snow foam on top to reactivate it.

I washed my wife’s car yesterday, I used a cheapo foam to clean wheels/tyres with a small brush, then snow foamed the bodywork with Bilt Hamber AutoFoam, about 200/300mm product made up to 1L in my MJJC. After that I did something I’d never done before which was, as I had lots of foam left in my cannon I snow foamed it again and then washed it with my mitt. I rinsed off again and it looked great, plus, I only used 1 bucket with grit guard to swill the mitt.
As it was quite sunny, I managed to get it done quicker, didn’t use any shampoo and didn’t use any hot water in my 2nd bucket.
I’m about to order a citrus cleaner for my pre-wash to go forward, hopefully less scrubbing of the wheels which is my most hated job to do, but what I like most, clean alloys and dressed tyres………….

I did my black Kia in the sun yesterday. Remembering what you taught me. One panel at a time then rinse off and move on to the next one. It didn't look to bad when it was finished. Woke up this morning to a light shower obviously with sand in it. Looks like it did before.(Wasn't worth all the agro from your mother) . Dad 🤦😂🤣

Another great video Dave, I always do the wheels first, then the petrol cap and then under the bonnet, and after that the pre wash, I think I've been watching these channels for too long 😁😁😁

[alexwolton]

Really helpful video, thank you - I’ve just got an AVA P50 and I’m looking for a really long reinforced hose to replace the standard 6m. Not sure if the fittings are the same as what you run but can I ask what you use? Sorry if it’s already been asked.. Cheers

Until last week I had an Alfa 159 ti sportwagon in Russo red (imho the best colour) which used to look absolutely fantastic once I followed a lot of your tips, but lately it was doing its best to drain my wallet, so I sold it on. My replacement car is something totally different, a 2010 Honda CR-Z with a full service history, less than 59, 000 miles and in a pearlescent white metallic paint which is in very good condition for its age. I am going to spend some money getting it professionally detailed at a firm local to me, as they are doing a good deal for a machine polish and a ceramic coating. The car last had the full Autoglym LifeShine deal (interior, exterior and glass) back in 2019. I have no idea if that was any good or not, but I think it's time to get it done again.
