Assignment 20 -Matthew Klee- Clean Your Cars Please!

Okay, something that I find really troubling in the modern day is that almost no one takes care of their cars! Whenever I catch a ride with my friends their cars are disgusting inside and out, and when I address this problem they say it's clean when in reality, all they've done is clean out their trash. My version of clean must be a lot different than society's, or at least teenagers'. So, today I'm going to teach y'all how to wash car in an efficient and effective manner. Step one- find a hose and a bucket, along with this you'll need a brush (make sure the bristles are not rough as to not hurt your car's paint) or a rag (preferably an old one but it needs to be smooth), as for soap, I would stay away from dish soap as it's pretty rough on car paint however if that's all you have, it's better than nothing. Now, what you'll want to do is pour your soap into the bucket (probably count for about 5-8 second of pouring soap) and then turn your nozzle of the hose onto shower or just put your thumb at the end of the hose if you don't have a nozzle and put water into your bucket making sure it has enough force to get soapy. Then you'll want to let your rag or brush soak in the soapy water, while you're letting that soak you need to wet down your car, just spray your car with the water, but make sure all your windows are up! So, next, you'll take your brush or rag and I like to start with the hood of the car, I first start with the top as to control the water flow, I clean and scrub the windshield followed by the entirety of the hood and then the headlights and grill. Once this is done rinse off all the soap and check for any dirty spots you may have missed. Repeat this with each panel of your car making sure before you start with soap on each part that the car is still wet. I usually go hood to driver's side doors to the trunk to passenger's doors and then I go around with a finer brush (a toothbrush in my case) and clean as best I can the wheels. Now, it depends on what kind of hub caps you have on your car, but mine has lots of small spaces that a normal brush or rag has difficulty reaching so this is why I use a toothbrush. I make sure to clean it a lot as the wheels are typically the dirtiest part of my vehicle. I then go around and rinse off my car one last time. After this, you will need to find some towels (they must be dry and not rough, I use old shower towels) and dry all the crevices and surfaces of your car as to not leave water stains. Now you are done with the outside!
