Below is an excerpt from the article:

Cleaning the exterior

1. Clean the car from top to bottom using a good-quality car shampoo. Don’t forget wheel arches, bumpers, outer skirts and inner door panels
2. Rinse the car thoroughly with a hose or bucket of water
3. Dry with a chamois leather
4. Clean the wheels. Use a special alloy wheel cleaner if dirt is particularly stubborn to remove
5. Use car wax or polish to create the perfect sheen. Don’t worry if paint residue appears on the cloth – this is just a layer of ‘dead paint’
