The holiday season is a time to celebrate but also to travel, meet people and participate in gatherings. Regular cleaning can prevent damage to your car.
Here are 6 tips to keep you looking your best.
- Regular car wash: Dust, moisture and grime caused by traffic and extreme weather conditions can damage the car’s exterior and interior. Regular car washes help keep the vehicle clean. Keep shampoo, a microfiber towel, water, and a bucket ready to start cleaning. Since it is a laborious process, you can take the car to a nearby car service center and get it done faster.
- Avoid direct sunlight: When cleaning the car, avoid direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can create water spots on the vehicle’s surface.
- Windshield wiper: Have the wiper cleaned and put wiper fluid in the reservoir to clean the windshield. In the sun, it becomes dusty, causing loss of visibility for the driver.
- Two bucket method: If you are cleaning the car yourself, you can use the two-bucket method. Keep one bucket for soapy water and the other for rinsing. This prevents scratches on the surface and helps remove dirt and debris.
- Dry carefully: Allow the car’s surface to dry completely and use microfiber towels to blot up the water. It is best not to wipe the surface to avoid scratches and marks.
- Apply wax or sealant: Regular washing alone cannot protect the exterior of the car in extreme weather conditions. Shoe polish provides a protective layer and keeps the paint shiny longer.
