<h1>Car Wash and Wax</h1>
<p>This step-by-step guide provides instructions on hand-washing and waxing your car. The guide is designed to help you maintain your car’s appearance and protect the paintwork.</p>

<h3>Step 1: Prep Work</h3>
<p>Gather all necessary supplies including a bucket, car wash soap, sponge or wash mitt, microfiber towels, car wax, and wax applicator pads. Make sure you have access to water and a hose.</p>

<h3>Step 2: Rinse Car</h3>
<p>Rinse your car thoroughly with water to remove loose dirt and debris that could scratch the paint during the washing process.</p>

<h3>Step 3: Mix Soap</h3>
<p>Fill a bucket with water and add the appropriate amount of car wash soap as specified on the soap's instructions. Mix well.</p>

<h3>Step 4: Wash Car</h3>
<p>Using the sponge or wash mitt, wash the car from the top down in sections, regularly rinsing the sponge or mitt in the soapy water to avoid dirt build-up. Use gentle linear motions to protect the paint.</p>

<h3>Step 5: Rinse Again</h3>
<p>Rinse the car thoroughly with water to remove all soap. Make sure all suds are gone to avoid soap spots.</p>

<h3>Step 6: Dry Car</h3>
<p>Dry your car with clean microfiber towels to prevent water spots. Use a blotting motion rather than dragging the towel across the paint.</p>

<h3>Step 7: Apply Wax</h3>
<p>Apply car wax to a clean foam applicator pad. Spread the wax onto the car's paint in a thin, even layer while applying in a circular motion. Follow the manufacturer's specifications for how long to leave the wax before proceeding to the next step.</p>

<h3>Step 8: Buff Wax</h3>
<p>After the wax has dried to a haze, use a clean, dry microfiber towel to buff the wax off using a circular motion. This will leave your car with a protective and glossy finish.</p>

<h3>Step 9: Final Inspection</h3>
<p>Inspect your car for any missed spots or remaining residue. Touch up as necessary, ensuring the entire car is waxed evenly and looks satisfactory.</p>

<h2>General Notes</h2>

<h3>Car Surface</h3>
<p>Ensure the vehicle surface is cool to the touch and the car is in a shaded area before you begin washing or waxing to prevent premature drying or wax not setting properly.</p>

<h3>Soap and Wax</h3>
<p>Use a car-specific wash soap as household cleaning agents can strip wax and damage the paint. Similarly, select a high-quality car wax designed for your vehicle's paint type.</p>

<h3>Wax Frequency</h3>
<p>Waxing your car is recommended every three months or as needed depending on the climate and your car's exposure to the elements.</p>
