How To Clean Your Car To Perfection

Tired of paying a premium to have your car cleaned? We are here to let you in on a few tips to achieve that “dealership clean” from home.

Interior Stink

If you can’t seem to get your ride smelling better after countless purchases of air fresheners, chances are, the smell has sunken and settled into your interior carpet. Buy a vehicle-interior approved spray to cover all carpeted areas. Turn your AC on high and watch the bad smells fade away.

Don’t Forget Your Windows

When cleaning your car, typically, you get so focused on cleaning up the carpet, seats, and exterior that you forget small details like the top of the windows. If not attended to, there’s a grimy film on the window. Take a rag and Windex to remove the grime and enhance the shine.

Don’t Skip a Step

When washing the exterior, most vehicle owners will grab the soapy wet sponge and get right to it. Although, the truth is, the exterior needs a rinse of water before it’s hit with soap. This splash of water will remove more dirt than you think, which is sure to make your job easier!

And the Air Vents

Never cleaned your air vents? Most drivers haven’t. If you have a painting or makeup brush with long bristles on hand, that will do the trick. Use the brush to go across the crevices and remove dust.

Keep the New

Everyone can spot a new car on the road because of the paint’s shine. If you want to protect your paint and keep your vehicle looking spick and span, apply a paint sealant, which is sure to save you money rather than having it professionally done.

No More Sponges

It’s time to trade in your sponge for a microfiber cloth! Sponges are quite germy, as instead of washing away the grime and dirt, it actually compacts it in. A microfiber cloth is sure to get the job done.
