Limpeza Exterior do Automóvel: Boas Práticas para Oficinas e Centros de Lavagem Auto

Exterior Car Cleaning: Best Practices for Workshops and Car Wash Centers

Cars are constantly exposed to elements that compromise their exterior cleanliness. Through professional car washing, it is possible to ensure not only cleanliness but also the durability of the materials. Therefore, it is crucial to adapt the products to each stage of the wash and to each part of the vehicle. Here are the best practices and recommendations for Mistolin Solutions products for effective and professional car cleaning.

  1. Pre-wash

The pre-wash is the step that softens dirt caused by mud, tar, oils, and insects, which can compromise the paint finish, glass, and soft tops. At this stage, it is important to use Carclean Prewash APL-200, an alkaline car pre-wash shampoo. This product can be used in pressure washers or in automatic wash tunnels and gantries. With high degreasing capacity and anti-corrosion agents, it is ideal for removing stubborn dirt.

  1. Car Washing

During the washing phase, we recommend using Carclean Foam AEA-20 with the help of foam projection equipment. This product stands out for its compact and long-lasting foam, allowing for effective dirt removal through longer contact time with the surface.

For a more demanding wash, use Carclean Wash ASA-20, which can be applied manually or mechanically. This highly concentrated car shampoo provides effective degreasing without attacking the vehicle's components.

After washing, apply Carclean Wax ACH-80, a water-repellent wax that, in addition to providing shine, accelerates the vehicle drying process without leaving marks.

  1. Cleaning Specific Car Parts

Components such as tires, rims, and chassis require specific care to preserve their original condition.

  • Tires: For tire finishing, use Carclean Shine AAP-25, a tire and plastic polish that offers protection, water-repellent properties, and prevents aging.
  • Rims: For cleaning rims, we recommend Carclean Jantes ALJ-50, an acidic detergent effective in removing oxides and traffic-related dirt. It can be used on stainless steel and aluminum surfaces.

Engines and Chassis: Maintaining clean engines and chassis is equally important. Depending on the level of dirt, you can opt for Auto Degreaser ALC-50 for regular cleaning or Motorclean ALM-50 for more persistent dirt. Both are alkaline detergents with excellent degreasing power.

Using appropriate products at each stage of the car wash is essential for effectively removing all dirt from the road without damaging the vehicle's materials. Furthermore, these practices contribute to the long-term conservation of the car!
