💧❓PURE Q&A
“What’s wrong with a bucket of water and a sq**rt of Fairy?” 🧽
Well, technically nothing is stopping you! But there’s a reason Jon uses specialist products and a carefully considered washing process.
Here’s what you might not know… 👀
🫧 Washing-up liquid isn’t car shampoo. It’s formulated to cut through grease on your dishes, not care for automotive paintwork. Regular use can weaken or strip existing wax protection.
🪣 One bucket isn’t always enough. Every time you put a dirty wash mitt or sponge back into the water, you risk picking up grit and dragging it across your paintwork.
🚘 Those little swirls you see in the sunshine? They’re often fine scratches caused by improper washing and drying techniques.
✨ It’s not just about getting your car clean. It’s about how you get it clean.
That’s why Jon uses specialist automotive products, thorough pre-washing and careful hand-washing techniques to minimise the risk of damage while achieving a beautiful finish.
And that’s the difference between simply washing a car and professionally caring for it.
