Chances are, you\u2019re working with some chemicals that aren\u2019t ideal if they come in contact with your skin or lungs, so dress appropriately.<\/p>\n<h3>Use car soap instead of dish soap<\/h3>\n<p>When washing your car, dish soap might seem to make the most sense since we all have that readily available. Unfortunately, dish soap can leave more streaks and strip away some of the wax.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buyevscars.com\/blog\/five-ways-to-improve-fuel-economy\/\"><strong>Five ways to improve fuel economy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Use cleaners specifically designed for your car<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-7326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buyevscars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/582\/2019\/09\/Car-Detailing-JS-B_b.jpg\" alt=\"Car wash\" width=\"409\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/760\/2019\/09\/23173517\/Car-Detailing-JS-B_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/760\/2019\/09\/23173517\/Car-Detailing-JS-B_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>All-purpose cleaners can\u2019t be used for all purposes. While they work great on your kitchen cabinets, windows, and appliances, they can leave stains on your interior vehicle trim and seats.<\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t detail the car in direct sunlight<\/h3>\n<p>Nothing is more relaxing than detailing your car out in the warm sun, right? Not exactly. Cleaning products will dry quicker on your vehicle when it\u2019s out in the sun or wind, which will leave spots on the exterior.<\/p>\n<h3>Wash the wheels first<\/h3>\n<p>Wheels kick up a lot of dirt and grime and are generally the dirtiest part of the vehicle. If you wash them last, you may end up getting all that dirt and grime all over the exterior you just finished cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>While these steps may seem trivial, they\u2019ll really make a difference in giving your vehicle that awesome look.
