Spring Clean Your Vehicle in 9 Simple Steps

Spring is here and that means it's time to wash away all the grime that's built up on your vehicle over the winter months. While it might be temping to just take your car through the car wash and call it done, here are some simple tips to give your car a thorough spring cleaning.

Ditch the debris  

Old receipts, crumpled up napkins from take-out and empty bottles have a knack for collecting in cars. A good first step to spring cleaning is to gather up all these items and put them in the trash. From there, you can easily vacuum out your vehicle and appreciate how much better your car looks already!

Spruce up the upholstery  

If you have leather seats, wiping them down with a damp cloth is a great and easy way to clean the upholstery. Looking to do more to improve your leather seats? Follow these steps to keep your leather seats in prime condition. If you have cloth seats, here are some tips to remove stains.

Do away with dust

Wipe down your console and dashboard with a damp rag and get rid of all the dust collecting there. You'll be shocked how dirty your rag will get and your sinuses will thank you.

Elevate the exterior

Give your car a good scrub and get rid of all the dirt and grime that has built up over the winter months. It's also a good time to a coat of wax.

Replace windshield wipers 

You know what they say, April showers bring May flowers. Replace your windshield wipers so you're ready for the changing season!

Wash the windows  

Clean the inside and outside of each window and your side mirrors with window cleaner and shine with a dry towel. If you haven't already, you might want to invest in some sun shades.

Tackle the trunk
