TRADITIONAL HOSE AND BUCKET

Always wash your vehicle in the shade out of direct sunlight. Pre-rinse to loosen contaminants. Dilute your preferred Griot's Garage car wash in your bucket according to the recommended water-to-soap ratio. Using one of our many quality wash mitts or pads clean from the top down. Rinse your mitt frequently to release dirt and debris in a second bucket filled with clean water or see our Ultimate Car Wash Bucket II for two buckets in one. Do not allow the car wash solution to dry on the paint surface. Re-soap as necessary, then rinse.

FOAMING SYSTEM

The BOSS™ Foaming System gives you a thorough wash while helping to prevent wash-induced scratches. The system consists of two washes, a gloss enhancer, and an innovative foam cannon delivery system. Application can be as easy as screwing a bottle of concentrate onto the cannon and letting the foam fly. Spray foam from a distance of 3 to 4 feet in slow, even, overlapping passes to ensure full coverage. The liquids have long dwell times, but be sure to rinse before the solution dries on your paint.

RICHARD'S TOP WASHING TIPS

richard griot
1

Always wash a cool surface in the shade or out of direct sunlight.

2

Always use two wash mitts while washing. One for the top to the mid-section of the vehicle and another for the mid-section down.

3

Employ the two-bucket method when washing your car. Use one bucket for soaping up your paint and the second as a rinse reservoir.

4

To reduce standing water and speed up the drying process, spray a smooth stream of water across panels from top to bottom to promote sheeting action.

5

Always consult and obey local water laws. Should traditional "bucket washing" be prohibited, utilize our Spray-On Car Wash or Rinseless Wash & Wax as a safe alternatives.
