Step 1: The Pre-Wash Foam
Before you even touch your vehicle, a proper pre-wash is crucial to loosen and lift away loose dirt and grime. This minimizes the risk of scratching the ceramic coating during the contact wash phase.
Start with GlassParency's S1 SOAP. Dilute it according to the instructions on the bottle and apply it generously to the entire vehicle using a foam cannon. We usually put about 2oz in our foam cannon.
Allow the foam to remain on the surface of your vehicle for several minutes. Ensure it does not dry and avoid applying it in direct sunlight. You will observe it lifting dirt from the paint, thereby minimizing the risk of micro-scratches. Rinse away the foam and dirt using a pressure washer or hose.

Step 2: The Two-Bucket Wash Method
This method is considered the gold standard for washing vehicles, particularly those with a ceramic coating. It significantly minimizes the risk of reintroducing dirt and grit onto the paint.
Fill one bucket with clean water for rinsing your wash mitt and the other with a mixture of water and GlassParency's S3 SOAP
Use GlassParency's high-quality microfiber wash mitt. Start at the top of the vehicle and work your way down.
After cleaning a small area, thoroughly rinse your wash mitt in the clean water bucket before re-immersing it in the soapy water. This practice helps maintain the suds bucket free from contaminants.
Wash your car one section at a time, and make sure the soap doesn't dry on it.
Dry your vehicle using a GlassParency Twist Loop Drying Towel 1200gsm. If you have a large vehicle, consider having 2-3 drying towels on hand.
If you have a leaf blower or any other type of blower, you can use it to blow out cracks and crevices before using the towel to dry your vehicle.
