Step 2: Rinse Your Car
The first step in cleaning your car is to rinse it with water to remove any loose dirt and debris. Use a hose or pressure washer to spray water all over the car, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.

Step 3: Clean the Wheels and Tires
Before washing the car's exterior, it's time to clean the wheels and tires. Use Blackline's All-in-One Wheel & Tire Cleaner to remove any dirt and brake dust from the wheels and tires. Spray the cleaner onto the wheels and tires and use Blackline's Stiff Bristle Tire Brush and Wheel Barrel Brush to scrub away any dirt, brake dust, and grime.



Step 4: Wash Your Car
Now it's time to wash your car with Blackline's Ultra Foaming Shampoo. Add a small amount of shampoo to your bucket of water and use a foam cannon to create a thick, rich foam. Apply the foam to the car's exterior, starting from the top and working your way down. Use a microfiber wash mitt or sponge to gently wash the car, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Once finished, simply spray your car down until there is no more soap or grime, revealing a perfectly clean exterior.

Step 5: Apply Beading Rinse Aid
Next, apply Blackline's Beading Rinse Aid to the car's exterior. This product helps to create a hydrophobic barrier for the water to easily bead up and roll off, leaving protection by a simple spray on - spray off solution. Our Beading Rinse Aid helps you dry your car as well, allowing the water to roll off instead of stay flat, reducing the amount of water.

Step 6: Dry Your Car
After cleaning your car, it's important to dry it thoroughly to prevent water spots. Use Blackline's famous Drying Towel to dry the car's exterior, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. You can easily dry another car with the same towel if you're washing more than one car.


Step 7: Clean the Interior
Now that the exterior is clean, it's time to clean the interior. Use Blackline's Complete Interior Cleaner to clean all surfaces, including the dashboard, seats, and carpets. Spray the cleaner onto the surface and use Blackline's Ultra Soft or Boars Hair Brushes to gently scrub away any dirt and stains.



Step 8: Clean the Glass
Finally, it's time to clean the glass. Use Blackline's Streak-Free Glass Cleaner to clean all the windows, mirrors, and windshield. Spray the cleaner onto the glass and use a Microfiber Towel to wipe away any dirt and grime.


Step 9: Apply Dressings and Protectants
Finally, use Blackline's Trim & Tire Dressing and Interior Dressing & Protectant to add a shine and protect your car's surfaces. Apply the products to the appropriate areas using Blackline's Applicator Pad and buff off any excess product with a Microfiber Towel.



By following these steps and using Blackline's range of car cleaning products, you can achieve a spotless and shiny car that will turn heads on the road. Regularly cleaning your car not only keeps it looking good but also helps to maintain its value and prolong its lifespan.
