- How do I properly wash my car without damaging the paint

Sure! Here are three different ways to wash your car without messing up the paint:

**Use the Two-Bucket Method**: Grab two buckets—one for soapy water and the other for rinsing. This way, you can keep dirt from going back onto your car. Use a microfiber wash mitt, and start from the top down. Rinse the mitt in the clean water bucket often to avoid scratching the paint.

**Choose the Right Soap**: Make sure to use a car-specific soap, not dish soap. Dish soap can strip away the wax and damage the paint. Look for something that’s pH balanced and safe for automotive finishes.
