Sample answer
“I start by thoroughly rinsing the vehicle to remove loose dirt. Then, I use a two-bucket method to wash the car, ensuring I don’t scratch the paint. I pay special attention to the wheels and wheel wells, using a dedicated cleaner for that. After washing, I dry the car with microfiber towels to avoid water spots and finish with a quick vacuum and interior wipe-down. This method ensures that every car I wash not only looks great but is also protected and clean inside and out.”
