How to Use Wash Mitts and Brushes on Ceramic-Coated Vehicles

Ceramic coatings offer unbeatable protection and shine, but to maintain their performance, proper washing techniques are essential. At Autobrite Direct, we know how important it is to care for your ceramic-coated vehicle with the right tools and methods. Here's a step-by-step guide to using wash mitts and brushes safely and effectively.

1. Choose the Right Tools

Selecting high-quality tools and accessories ensures your ceramic coating stays flawless and protected.

  • Microfibre Wash Mitts: Soft, woollen plush mitts like our Autobrite Direct Synthetic Wool Mitt glide smoothly over the surface, lifting dirt safely.

  • Soft Bristle Brushes: Ideal for intricate areas like grilles, badges, and wheels. Our Soft Detailing Brushes are designed to clean without scratching.

  • Two-Bucket Method: One for soapy water, one for rinsing—this prevents dirt from reapplying to your mitt.

2. Pre-Wash with Snow Foam

Start with a thorough pre-wash cleaner to loosen dirt and reduce the risk of swirl marks, citrus wash is perfect for this!

  • Apply Autobrite Direct Magifoam using a foam lance for thick, clinging foam.

  • Let it dwell for 5-10 minutes to break down dirt and grime.

  • Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer to remove dirt.

3. Safe Contact Wash

After pre-washing, it's time for a contact wash using your wash mitt.

  • Fill one bucket with Autobrite Direct Purple Velvet Shampoo and another with clean water.

  • Gently glide the wash mitt over the surface in straight lines, not circles to ensure a smooth, safe contact wash.

  • Rinse the mitt frequently in the clean water bucket to avoid dirt buildup on the mitt

4. Detailing Brushes for Tight Areas

Delicate areas need special attention.

  • Use our Soft Detailing Brushes to clean emblems, grilles, and around trim.

  • Dip the brush in soapy water, or apply a citrus pre cleaner to your brush for heavily ingrained dirt and gently agitate.

  • Rinse thoroughly to prevent residue buildup.

5. Final Rinse and Drying

Proper rinsing and drying are crucial to preserving your ceramic coating.

  • Rinse the entire car thoroughly to remove all soap.

  • Use our Plush Drying Towel to gently pat dry the surface.

  • Avoid letting water air dry to prevent water spots.

6. Maintenance Products for Extra Protection

Enhance and prolong your ceramic coating with dedicated maintenance products.

  • Use Autobrite Direct Ceramic Detailer to boost hydrophobic properties.

  • Apply Autobrite Direct QD (Quick Detailer) for added gloss and slickness.
