As with every spring, the warm weather has been much awaited here in Minnesota. Now that it is here, (hopefully to stay), it is time to start doing all of the chores that you have put off and do a little spring cleaning. While you know your house needs a good cleaning, your car has endured a hard winter and is surely ready for a little washing. Follow these simple steps to give your car’s exterior the cleaning it really needs:- Hand wash is the best kind of wash. Don’t settle for running your car through the local car wash. Take time to grab a bucket full of suds and sponge. This way you will be sure to not miss any areas that need attention. Be careful about the kind of soap you use on your car. For example, be sure that you DON’T use dish washing detergent; It will strip away your car’s protective coating.
- Squeegee it. After washing it down, use a rubber blade squeegee to remove all excess water. When water droplets dry on your vehicle, it will leave behind minerals and dirt.
- Wax on, wax off. When your car was brand new, it had a nice wax coat, but over time, that wax wears off. It is important to give your car a fresh coat of wax because it protects your car from the elements. Pick your favorite kind of wax, whether that be liquid or paste, and follow the directions to apply to your vehicle. If you have the time, apply two coats to ensure all spots are covered.
- The next area to give some attention to is your windows. Use an ammonia-free glass cleaner and a microfiber towel. The microfiber cloth works great because it gets rid of cleaner residue as well as oils from your skin.
Once you have done all of these steps, we bet your car will be looking brand new! Don’t want to go through all of this trouble? We can help. Visit our website and set up an appointment for a car detailing. We promise you- and your car- won’t regret it!
