Autumn Mists

Although the weather has been quite extraordinary this week, morning mists mean wet cars - not good for valeters.  Here are some of our ideas for dealing with the problem. 

• Ask the car owner to move the car or leave it in a sunny position so that the sun hits it as quickly as possible.
• Remove as much excess water as possible without wasting cloths; run the front and rear wipers a couple of times, run an ice-scraper or squeegee over the roof and other windows.
• Clean the interior first.
• As the product will tend to run a little more than normal, spray & clean smaller sections so that you catch it.
• Leave the windows to last.  I did my car yesterday and sprayed & cleaned all the windows with glass cleaner then went back and buffed them.  They were fine.  However, don't be tempted to 'mop up' with your buffing cloth.  Any dampness will cause streaking that is then difficult to buff. If you have a damp patch around the window, mop it up with an old cloth first.
• If you buy concentrate, keep a bottle of less diluted product handy. We recommend dilution of 1 to 9 but if the car is damp this is going to dilute the product further so try 1 to 7 or 8.  A 1 litre bottle of car wash and wax is only £27.95 so worth having some in this weather.

Hope this helps.  Let us know if you have any good tips.
