Step-by-Step Instructions
Allow the Car to Cool Down
Wait for the car to cool down if it has been driven recently, especially if the wheels or hood feel hot. It's best to wait at least 30 minutes for them to cool.
Once the vehicle is cool to the touch, put on your gloves and let's get started!
Rinse the Car
Give the car a thorough hose down or water-blast to remove as much dirt and road debris as possible.
Prepare the Washing Solution
Mix the Hermosa Ceramic Car Shampoo into a bucket using a 1:100 ratio (50ml per 5 litres of water).
If you are using a foam cannon the dilution rates will change depending on the flow rate of the cannon. We would generally recommend around 50ml of Hermosa Ceramic Shampoo in a 500ml foam cannon reservoir but it will depend on the flow rate of your pressure washer and how thick you prefer the foam on the car. This ratio delivers 10 car washes per 500ml bottle of Hermosa Ceramic Shampoo, the same results as bucket washing at a 1:100 dilution ratio.
Spray the water blaster or hose into the bucket to activate the bubbles and thoroughly mix the shampoo into the solution.
Wash the Car
Wash the car with the Hermosa Wash Mitt or wash sponge. Wash one area such as a panel or side of the car at a time, then wash with fresh water.
Do not let the wash solution dry on the car.
Rinse the Car with Fresh Water
Wash the car with fresh water.
