How to Handle a Car That Looks Like It Lost a Paintball Match

You step outside, coffee in hand, ready to hit the road, and there it is—your car, looking like it’s just returned from an intense paintball battle. Splashes of mud, streaks of grime, and what might even be bird droppings (but you’d rather not investigate too closely). No worries, mate—Mel’s got your back. Here’s how to get your car looking sharp again, no camouflage required.

Step 1: Assess the Battlefield

Take a good look at your car and nod solemnly. Yes, it’s bad, but it’s not beyond saving. The key is to approach the situation like a tactical operation: methodically, step by step, and with the right tools.

Step 2: Start with a Pre-Soak

First things first—head to Melville Car Wash and hit the dirt-lifting pre-soak button. This step is like calling in reinforcements: it softens the grime, loosens the mud, and makes the next steps a breeze. Let it sit for a moment and do its magic.

Step 3: Blast Away the Evidence

Grab the power rinse hose and go to town. Aim for those stubborn paintball-esque splatters and watch them surrender to the high-pressure water stream. Don’t forget to target sneaky spots like under the wheel arches and along the edges of the windows.

Step 4: Gentle Brush Scrub for Precision Cleaning

For those really stuck-on stains, it’s time to bring out the gentle brush scrub. This isn’t just any brush; it’s your secret weapon. Apply the soapy bristles with care and let them handle what the rinse couldn’t.

Step 5: Wax for Defence

Now that the battle’s over, it’s time to fortify your car for the next skirmish. Hit the protective wax coat option, which shields your car from future assaults by dirt, grime, and whatever nature throws your way.

Step 6: The Final Rinse and Victory Lap

End with the spotless final rinse, ensuring your car shines like a true champion. No streaks, no spots, just clean, glossy perfection. Step back, admire your work, and maybe even snap a pic for the ‘gram—you’ve earned it.

Step 7: Celebrate Your Win

A clean car isn’t just about looks; it’s a victory over chaos, dirt, and the relentless march of messiness. You’ve turned a disaster into a masterpiece, and you did it with style.
