As long as public transport facilities remain woefully inadequate to handle the needs of the huge number of commuters and travellers in the country, cars will remain a necessity rather than a mere ‘nice-to-have’ option. Apart from mechanical care and, even if only to maintain their price for the next trade-in, some attention to their appearance is also important. This could use just an old rag and some soapy water but would involve less effort and better results with purpose-made car wash products from a reputable supplier.
South African winters can be very dry in some parts of the country, leaving cars with a daily coating of abrasive dust that simply drops from an atmosphere unwashed by rain. The heavy summer rains, on the other hand, lead to splashing that soon coats a car with harmful salts and oil that can damage bodywork badly. Clearly, then, washing the car is important for far more than cosmetic reasons and any first purchase of car wash products should probably include a pressure washer.
First The Bodywork
These powerful gadgets can direct a jet of water to any part of a car where it is needed and, because it is a high pressure jet, it is able to strip mud and dirt form all surfaces without the need for any manual assistance and makes washing those less accessible areas such as the wheel arches, a piece of cake.
They come in a variety of capacities and pressure ranges and in mains, battery and petrol driven versions making them one of the most versatile car wash products on the market. The pressure washer was the brainchild of the Kärcher family who have continued to develop it, and along with its many other innovative machines, the company now boasts the most advanced and comprehensive range of cleaning equipment on the market.
Then The Inside
Outward appearances restored, the next target is the interior where carpets and upholstery bear the brunt. Even where occupants refrain from smoking, eating and drinking, dust and dirt still accumulate and a good vacuum cleaner should be next on the list of car wash products.
More typically however, families tend to be far less disciplined. Food and drink stains picked up at drive-ins and fast food outlets are normally too stubborn to succumb to suction alone and, a more appropriate tool would be a wet and dry vacuum cleaner.
These devices have a tank of water with optional cleaning agent, and a tank to collect the used water. Clean water is directed to the carpet and sucked back into the waste tank with the dissolved dirt. For commercial use, however, even tougher car wash products are available to make the task quicker and more efficient.
For fabrics, the professional tool of choice would be a steam extraction cleaner, useful not just for vehicle interiors but wherever heavily used carpets and upholstery may need deep cleansing.
Their principle is similar to that of the wet and dry vacuum units, but their use of steam under pressure, enables them to penetrate the pile more deeply, dissolve more dirt, remove odours and allergens and to leave fabrics near-sterile and dry enough for immediate use.
Dedicated car wash products must be tough on dirt yet cause no damage to the areas on which they are used and this is the very reason that they will always offer an advantage over cheap, makeshift alternatives. Add to this, the fact that they invariably save time and reduce effort and it’s not hard to see why they are the choice of professionals.
