Once my car is all shiny and polished then sealed and/or waxed (waiting for just a few hours without rain!), what would be the usual process of cleaning, say every 2 weeks or whenever it needs it? Just pressure washer and shampoo? How often would you use the polish, sealant and wax?
Depends how durable your protection is, every 3 months would be a good start for a deep clean/LSP.
Depending what's available to you and how dirty your is car, you may not have to do too much.
What I would do for a weekly/biweekly wash.
- Pressure wash the car
- Snow foam and leave to sit for 10 minutes. Agitate any tricky areas with a soft brush while snow foam is still on.
- While Snow foam is on, spray wheels with cleaner and agitate with brush.
- After the 10 minutes is up pressure wash off all the soap from the car and wheels.
- Any tougher areas hit with a cleaner that won't strip your LSP (Auto finesse Citrus Power for example)
- Pressure wash off cleaner.
- Clean with 2 bucket method.
- Wash off soap with open ended hose.
- Spray Quick Detailer + Dry.
- At this point you can top up the LSP or add some gloss enhancers.
- Buff off if required
I always pay someone to do the inside because I really cba.
