Ultimate guide to keeping your car pristine, inside and out! 

Washing your car at home sounds simple — until you ruin your paint, strip your ceramic, or blast water into places it shouldn't be. That’s why we built the BLAHST R18 Wall-Mounted Retractable Pressure Washer, Air Maxx Blower Dryer, and K21 Wall-Mounted Vacuum — the ultimate setup for safe, satisfying car care.

Here’s how to get that showroom finish (without the swirl marks) Wall-Mounted

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

1

Vacuum First with the K21

Start by removing loose dirt, leaves, sand and crumbs from your interior. The K21’s powerful suction and long, retractable hose make it easy to get into footwells, between seats, and across boot space — all without dragging around a bulky shop vac.

Pre-Rinse with the R18

Pull out the R18’s hose, lock it in place, and rinse from the roof down to knock off surface dust and grime.

Pro Tip: Stay 50–70cm back to protect trims, seals, and soft paint.

Foam It Up

Load your foam cannon with BLAHST Foam Wash and coat the car. Let it dwell for a few minutes (but don’t let it dry) — this softens dirt before hand washing.

Hand Wash with Two-Bucket Method

Use your microfibre mitt and the classic two-bucket method: one for suds, one to rinse. Work top to bottom, rinsing your mitt between panels.
