Our Favorite Tips for Keeping Our Volkswagen Models Clean 

Invest in Proper Car-Washing Equipment & Supplies – The first step to ensuring a consistent result each time you decide to handwash the exterior of your Volkswagen is having the appropriate supplies and tools on hand. We suggest having several lint-free and/or microfiber cloths available to ensure no scratches are left behind during the cleaning process. A chamois allows you to better dry up the water off your vehicle and prevent streaks. Finally, we highly recommend purchasing both detergent that is designed for automobiles and car wax. Both of these will lend to an overall fantastic finished product. 

Try & Wash Your Vehicle Out of Direct Sunlight – While you’re washing your vehicle, you don’t want the water to dry before you’re ready to properly wipe it off. This is because any dirt or other contaminants that might be in the water will stick to the paint and leave a noticeable watermark if it dries too quickly. As such, we recommend not washing your vehicle when the sun is at its highest or if it is exceptionally hot out during the year. 

Wax Does More Than Shine Up the Paint – After using your favorite detergent to thoroughly clean the exterior of your vehicle, waxing the vehicle offers several benefits. In addition to offering a glistening shine that you’ll love, the wax will also help protect the underlying paint from water and grime. This makes each subsequent cleaning even easier to undertake and makes the overall maintenance of your Volkswagen’s exterior more consistent over time.
