Should I Remove Heavy Dirt From My Car Quickly?
Statistics show that on scale, the second most expensive item we purchase in our lifetimes are our cars. With only our homes being of higher value than our vehicles, the average person as a rule will lose more money on their vehicles than any other investment made. So it makes sense to look after our investments as best as possible to regain as high re sale value as possible when it comes to selling our vehicles. And this includes cleaning dirt of the paintwork at the earliest opportunity.
Why You Should Remove Dirt Off Your Car
In instances where vehicles are parked upon grassed areas and dirt is fired over the paintwork and it is not removed, it can result in paintwork etching. The combination of the dirt, and baking of the dirt onto clear coats may result in damage which will require attention to restore. Although is some cases it’s not quite as aggressive as leaving bird lime on paintwork, it does still have similar effects.
What Should I do If I Get Heavy Dirt On My Car
If you do get in a situation where you car gets ‘sprayed’ with heavy dirt then it would be prudent to remove at the earliest opportunity. A safe procedure to employ would be to pre spray the contaminated area with a non caustic chemical or a citrus pre wash product allowing to dwell for approx 1 minute (depending upon ambient temperature, do not allow to dry) and jet wash off. Any further dirt clinging on can be removed with a gentle car wash soap within a two bucket system, employing forgiving wash mitts. Wash mitt options can be microfibre, lambs wool or noodle style mitts. Steer clear of sponges or cheap synthetic mitts.
