Car wash in 100-degree weather? This road-trip SUV came back covered in bugs, mud, dirt, grime, and bird poop, so we’re breaking down the fastest way to bring it back without wasting time in the heat. In this video, we tackle filthy wheels and tires, blast away stuck-on road grime, lay down thick foam with a foam cannon, and use the two-bucket wash method for a safer contact wash. You’ll see how to clean bugs off the front end, refresh the tires, use a deep-clean car wash soap, and finish with a ceramic drying aid to help reduce water spots. If your car is baked in summer heat after a long drive, this is the wash process to get it clean, glossy, and ready for the next adventure.

What’s the dirtiest thing your car has picked up on a road trip? Drop it in the comments.
