Who doesn't want to drive into spring with a sparking and shiny car? The beginning of a new season is always excited as it feels like a fresh start. Spring is all about renewal, and what better way to freshen up than to clean your car. Here are some of our favorite tips for car cleaning:


Vacuum Interior Surfaces

Most people will wash the outside of their vehicles and completely forget about the inside. This time around, make sure you remove all trash from inside your vehicle. Declutter and organize your belongings. Last but not least, vacuum up and dust, crumbs, etc., that have been sitting on your mats. 


Pay Attention to the Tires

When spraying off your car, please make sure to give your tires a good clean. Your wheels are the only parts that make contact with the road, so it's especially important that you provide them with attention. Plus, some of the road salt from the winter could've stuck around. 


Clean the Glass Surfaces

Please remember to regularly clean and wipe your windshield and windows with a safe cleaning solution and microfiber cloth. During this type of year, pollen, dust, and other contaminants tend to cling onto your car.


Add a Layer of Wax

Finish off your cleaning with a shiny, protective coat of wax. Not only will it have your car gleaming, but it will fend your car against damage. 


Of course, don't forget to top everything off by adding a fresh scented air freshener inside your vehicle. If you need help washing your car's exterior this spring, please do not hesitate to bring it to Kwik Kar Auto Repair. Please call or visit our auto repair shop soon.
