How to Clean Your Car's Exterior

Keeping your car's exterior clean has numerous perks. On the one hand, taking care of the paintwork is vital to prevent rust and damage. Also, cleaning the mirrors and windshield increases safety and visibility while driving. And, of course, regular cleaning keeps your car's exterior looking vibrant and shiny. That said, here are the steps you can take to clean your car's exterior and enjoy all the benefits that come with it:
  1. Gather your supplies: First, ensure you have all the necessary supplies. You will need a few buckets, a hose or pressure washer, car wash soap, microfiber towels, or wash mitts. Also, get a car wash solution, a wheel cleaner, and other cleaners specifically designed for automotive use.
  2. Rinse your car: Start by rinsing your vehicle with a hose or pressure washer to remove any loose dirt or debris.
  3. Wash your car: Mix water and car wash soap in one of the buckets. Then, wash the vehicle from top to bottom using a microfiber towel soaked in the mix. Clean your towel whenever it gets dirty in a separate bucket filled with water. This will keep the rag clean to avoid spreading dirt or scratching the paint.
  4. Repeat the rinse: Once you finish washing your car, rinse it thoroughly with a hose or pressure washer to remove all the soap.
  5. Dry your car: Using a drying towel, dry your car thoroughly. Make sure you dry all crevices and corners, as water can hide in these places and cause rust.
  6. Wax your car (optional): If you want to give your car extra protection and shine, apply a coat of wax. Use a soft cloth and apply the wax in circular motions. Let it dry for a few minutes, then buff it off with a clean cloth.

How to Clean Your Car's Interior

Cleaning your car's interior is just as important as cleaning the exterior. Over time, dust and debris can accumulate inside your vehicle. If not cleaned, dirt can lead to unpleasant odors and surface damage. A clean interior, on the other hand, creates a more pleasant and hygienic driving experience. That said, here are the steps to follow to achieve a nice and clean passenger compartment:
  1. First, remove clutter: Remove all the junk and clutter from your car before cleaning. Throw away any garbage and organize your glove compartment and trunk.
  2. Loosen stains and dirt: Brush the carpets and seats with a stiff-bristled brush to remove any dirt or debris trapped inside.
  3. Vacuum the carpets and seats: Use a vacuum cleaner attached to a crevice tool to vacuum the carpets and seats thoroughly. Make sure to get into all the crevices and corners.
  4. Clean the dashboard and console: Using a damp cloth, clean the dashboard and console. You can use a mild cleaner if necessary, but avoid using anything too harsh that can damage the surfaces.
  5. Clean the windows and mirrors: Using a glass cleaner and a clean cloth, clean the windows and mirrors. Make sure to remove any streaks or smudges.
  6. Clean the upholstery and leather: If your car has leather seats, use a leather cleaner and conditioner to keep them soft and supple. Use a fabric cleaner and a soft brush to remove stains from cloth seats.
  7. Freshen up the air: To give your car a fresh scent, use an air freshener or a sachet of dried lavender or other herbs. Avoid using anything too overpowering that can cause headaches or allergic reactions.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your vehicle looking new for longer.
