Many use spring as an excuse to clean. After a long winter, clutter, dust and grime accumulate, motivating people to spring clean. You might start out with your office, closet or entire house but most people often forget to spring clean one of their most used possessions - their cars.
Spring cleaning your car cannot only improve the appearance of your vehicle but it can also improve your performance. The team at Gillman Honda in San Benito has the best tips for spring cleaning your car this season
Hair Conditioner
For added shine, hair conditioner containing lanolin can be combined when hand-washing your vehicle. The conditioner will help maintain a freshly waxed look and help repel rain and water.
Detailing
You don't have to spend hundreds to get your car detailed. Detailing the inside of your vehicle can be fairly easy with the right supplies.
To avoid rust and stench, use a carpet cleaner to scrub your carpets after vacuuming. After cleansing, be sure to rinse your carpets. Soap attracts more dirt.
A mild cleanser can be used to wash your dash and console. Polish leather seats with leather conditioner to avoid cracking and wear.
Windshield Wipers
Spring is the season that has the most rain. To improve visibility when driving, replace your wiper blades if they leave streaks behind. It is recommended that wipers be replaced every six months.
Mayonnaise
It might sound unusual, but using mayonnaise can actually remove tar built up after winter. Just spread mayonnaise on areas that have built up tar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. The natural oil found in mayo will remove the tar without damage.
Air Filters
Replacing your air filter ensures your air will be clean during the spring and winter months when the air conditioner is used most frequently.
