However, you could have unintentionally damaged\u00a0your car in the process of cleaning. You could have damaged the skin of your car, destroying the smooth spotless metal suit. Listed below are Carro's car care tips to prevent scratches on your car ,and to help you wash your car without hurting it.\r\n<h2><strong>Sponges=scratches<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-sponge.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-900\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-sponge.png\" alt=\"Washing Sponge is not the answer\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" title=\"\"><\/a>It is true that sponges are cheap, but the sponges\u2019 pores could be the exact reason why your car has scratches and <em>swirl prints<\/em>.\u00a0 These pores remove bits and pieces of your car\u2019s paintwork and leave more marks on your car. This is definitely not the way to keep \u201cher\u201d beautiful.\r\n<h2><strong>Wash Mitts can never be more smooth<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-mitts.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-904\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-mitts.png\" alt=\"Washing mitts is smooth, but some are still rough enough to hurt your car\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" title=\"\"><\/a>\r\n\r\nWash mitts are seen as a more expensive substitute of sponges, making them seem smoother and safer. However, cheaper wash mitts are made from much larger strands of wool material, heightening the possibility of scratching your car. Furthermore, typical wash mitts could also catch dirt, which could also scratch your car. Lambswool or sheepskin wash mitts would be the best kinds of wash mitts to use. Take note that swirling could cause more marks.\r\n<h2><strong>Saving water does not save money<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-bubbles.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-901\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-bubbles.png\" alt=\"Saving money for water is not worth the damage of your car\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" title=\"\"><\/a>We need to reduce water usage in order to save the earth. However, using only one bucket for both rinsing your wash mitts and pouring shampoo is a bad idea. When you rinse your wash mitts, you will expect the dirt on your <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.carro.sg\/products\/washing-mitt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">wash mitts <\/a>to be removed by the water. However, having the same bucket containing the shampoo, and the wash mitts might even catch more dirt! Use two buckets of water, one for the shampoo, the other to rinse.\r\n<h2><strong>Shampoo that suits<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-shampoo.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-905\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-shampoo.png\" alt=\"A good shampoo has to be not so strong and with a good lubrication\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" title=\"\"><\/a>The large variety of car<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.carro.sg\/search?q=shampoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"> shampoo <\/a>at supermarkets would push you to put your preference before the need of your car. A solution of strong detergents and little lubrication is definitely not what you need. Too strong of a detergent would result in a paint-detergent reaction which is bad for your car. Look for a moderate detergent with a generous amount of lubrication. That is the ideal shampoo for \u201cher\u201d!\r\n<h2><strong>Wash it well<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-well.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-906\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/washing-well.png\" alt=\"Wash it well\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" title=\"\"><\/a>\r\n\r\nWash with your heart. Don\u2019t apply too much pressure- just enough to remove the dirt, but not too much to create scratches. A good amount of<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.carro.sg\/search?q=shampoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"> shampoo<\/a> in a water bucket, and another bucket of clean water for rinsing. Use quality wash mitts and avoid using sponges. Do not spend your money on trivial things such as water and sponge, as scratches on your car would cost you much more to repair.\r\n\r\nBuy your next ride through <a href=\"http:\/\/carro.sg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carro<\/a>, no more false-advertising!\u00a0Sell your car with no hidden fees now!\u00a0Buyers pay less, Sellers get more.\u00a0Shop your car accessories, car performance, and car care\u00a0equipment at <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.carro.sg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">shop.carro.sg<\/a>!\r\n\r\n\u00a9 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carro.sg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carrosg<\/a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carro&#8217;s Car Care 5 Ways You are\u00a0Damaging your Car Unknowingly Washing seems like an easy job &#8211; splash water, wipe off, and ta-dah, you are done!
