Beginner guide · Washing

Your first proper wash.

A gentle maintenance wash, followed by protection. Start with the condition of the car.

Before you start

Wash bucket, suitable wash media, several clean microfibre towels and separate wheel tools. These are not included in the wash bundle.

  1. Check the dirt

    Rinse away heavy mud, sand or gritty deposits before contact washing. Work on cool paint in the shade.

  2. Prepare your wash

    For rinseless washing, mix ONR using the directions on your V5 bottle. The manufacturer’s current online guide describes V6, so do not copy its dosage onto an older formulation.

  3. Clean, then dry

    Use well-lubricated wash media and light pressure, working one small section at a time. Switch to a clean face frequently and dry that section with a clean towel. Keep wheel cloths away from paint.

  4. Finish the clean surface

    Apply Bead Maker to compatible clean exterior surfaces using its label directions and a fresh cloth. Allow the stated curing time before exposing it to water.

Always check the product label and safety data sheet for your exact formulation, plus your vehicle’s care instructions. Use the stated protective equipment and test suitability first.
