1. Start with a soap cycle and wash from the top down. Hold the wand 20 to 30cm from your vehicle's surface and wash in a steady side-to-side motion covering the entire surface. Wash thoroughly inside your wheel wells, which is a common spot for rust to form as it often attracts the most salt, and automatic car washes do not reach this area effectively. You can also wash your vinyl or carpet car mats by using the clamps at the front of the bay; in the winter your carpet mats should be brought inside your home overnight after washing. 
 
2. If the dirt has been allowed to adhere to your car's surface you may need to use the foamy brush. To do so turn the selector to "Foamy Brush". Ensure that the brush head has no grime caught in it, if it does give it a rinse with the wand. The brush is effective at removing the dirt that has adhered to the finish and is also an effective tool for giving your wheels that extra shine.  To prevent scratching your car's finish, never use the brush without the foam and wash the heavy grime from your car before applying the brush . 
 
3. Rinse your vehicle from top to bottom for a spot-free finish with our softened water using the rinse cycle. 
 
4. Apply a coat of wax to your car's wet surface. Our waxes help protect your vehicle's finish and enhance its shine. It does not need to be applied at each wash, but it is wise to apply at least monthly. 

5. Apply a light rinse after applying the wax to avoid spotting by using the rinse cycle.
 
6. Run the vacuum through your car's interior and trunk if necessary.  At Whyte Ridge our outside vacuum offers 50% more time for $1.
 
7. In the winter, use our air hoses located at the rear of the bay on your locks and handles to prevent freeze up.  Ensure you have time on your cycle and turn the dial to "Air Hose".
 
8. Enjoy the look and feel of your clean car!
