DIY PPF Academy Lesson 10 - Cleaning your vehicle

Welcome to the next step of washing your vehicle.

The process involves various steps for achieving the best results: Start with a basic wash as you would do at home, paying attention to important steps. Begin by spraying the wheels with a non-acidic cleaner, agitate with a wheel brush, and pressure wash.

Use a barrel brush to reach hard-to-access areas on the wheels. Clean wheel arches thoroughly to prepare for PPF installation.

Remove the front number plate to allow for a full vehicle cleaning. Snow foam the vehicle to lift dirt off the panels, then rinse it off.

Utilize a two-bucket method for a contact wash to reduce swirl marks. Work panel by panel from top to bottom, focusing on edges and gaps. Use an all-purpose cleaner and detailing brush for crevices and edges.

Proceed with a clay bar treatment to prepare for PPF application.

By following these steps meticulously, your vehicle will be clean and ready for the next stage of the process.
