1 STEAM CLEAN ENGINE IF REQUIRED & WHEELS - ONLY USE A CAPFUL OF THE SOLUTION PER AIR GUN LOAD OF WATER - I.E ABOUT 1:100 CONCENTRATE. USE AT LEAST 3 AIR GUN LOADS ON A DIRTY ENGINE.

 

2 COLD JET BLAST THE WHEELARCHES THOROUGHLY

 

3 REMEMBER TO RUN COLD WATER THROUGH THE STEAMCLEANER & THEN RELEASE THE PRESSURE BEFORE PUTTING IT AWAY. COIL HOSE UP NEATLY

 

4 HOSE CAR OVER WITH HOSE (CAN USE PRESSURE WASHER ON COLD SETTING IF CAR IS FIXED HEAD)  – THIS IS TO REMOVE ANY SURFACE GRIT SO YOU DON’T RUB IT IN & SCRATCH THE PAINTWORK

 

5 WASH ALL HARD (IE NOT HOOD) BODY COMPONENTS INCLUDING GLASS WITH CAR SHAMPOO – DO NOT USE A DETERGENT WITH SALT LIKE FAIRY LIQUID. USE JUST ENOUGH SHAMPOO TO COVER THE BOTTOM OF THE BUCKET. IF THE BUCKET IS DIRTY THEN CLEAN IT. DO NOT USE A BUCKET WITH ANY OIL PRODUCTS. IN FACT THROW AWAY OILY BUCKETS. IF THE WATER GETS VERY DIRTY REPLACE IT. 

 

6 USE AEROSOL TYRE CLEANER FOR TYRES

 

7 HOSE CAR DOWN TO REMOVE ALL SUDS

 

8 ALLOW CAR TO AIR DRY OR CHAMOIS OFF

 

9 APPLY POLISH WITH A SOFT LINT-FREE CLOTH EG MUTTON CLOTH TO ALL PAINTED SURFACES. GLASS IS NOT A PAINTED SURFACE. USE ELBOW GREASE IF NECCESSARY TO REMOVE STAINS. DON’T USE TOO MUCH POLISH – YOU’RE ONLY MAKING YOUR JOB HARDER – TRUST ME ON THIS.

 

10 ANY REALLY TOUGH STAINS USE T-CUT – READ THE T-CUT INSTRUCTIONS ON THE TIN

 

11 USE RUBBER AND VINYL CLEANER ON ALL RUBBER SURFACES EG DOOR TO GLASS WEATHERSTRIPS AND PVC HOODS. LEAVE MOHAIR & DUCK HOODS ALONE, EXCEPT TO PICK OFF ANY BITS OF DRIED BIRDSHIT AND THEN GIVE A LIGHT BRUSHING OVER ANY STAINED AREAS WITH THE SUEDE SHOE BRUSH

 

12 USE CHROME CLEANER ON ALL CHROME – USE ELBOW GREASE. AGAIN USING A HUGE AMOUNT OF POLISH DOES NOT MAKE THE JOB QUICKER

 

13 USE BLACK TRIM CLEANER ON ANY BLACK BUMPERS OR OTHER BLACK TRIM

 

14 BUFF OF THE BODY POLISH

 

15 BUFF OF THE CHROME POLISH

 

16 USE GLASS CLEANER ON ALL WINDOWS - USE THE NEW WHITE PASTE STUFF

 

17 REMOVE RUBBISH FROM INTERIOR. DON’T MESS WITH ANY CUSTOMER'S PERSONAL EFFECTS IN THE CAR. EMPTY ASHTRAYS

 

18 HOOVER CARPETS

 

19 USE INTERIOR FABRIC CLEANER FOR ANY STAINS ON ALL FABRIC TRIM. USE HIDE FOOD FOR LEATHER

 

20 CLEAN HARD PLASTIC TRIM (EXCLUDING STEERING & PEDAL COVERS) WITH VINYL AND LEATHER CLEANER EG SON OF A GUN OR ARMOUR-ALL

 

21 CLEAN INTERIOR GLASS WITH GLASS CLEANER

 

22 DON’T FORGET TO DO THE BOOT INTERIOR - LEAVE THE CUSTOMERS STUFF LIKE YOU FOUND IT OR PLACE IT MORE NEATLY IF IT WAS IN A REAL MUDDLE

 

DONE PROPERLY THIS IS A 1 – 2 HOUR JOB (IE NOT 20 MINUTES OR 5 HOURS!)
