Spring Cleaning Your Vehicle

March mini-blog 1- 2017 Take a good look at your car. Walk all the way around. Does it look more white then you remember? Did you purchase a white car? Now look inside. Does it also look kind of dingy, dusty, and white? Now is a good time to consider a thorough spring cleaning.

Exterior Car Cleaning

At this time of year, odds are that your vehicle is covered in salt residue from the road. This salty coating is acidic and wears down the clear coat, and eventually the paint on your car. This residue really needs to be washed off with a proper car wash.
A proper exterior clean will also take into account the cleaning of your wheels and tires. This will help them from fading, cracking, and discolouring.
It is also important to wash the underside of your vehicle. Not only does the salty residue coat the visible part of your car, it also coats all the nooks and crannies of the underbody. If you only wash your vehicle with a regular car wash, you are missing an important area that needs to be cleaned. Leaving the salty coating on the underbody of your car is a mistake. The salt will continue to eat away at all your important components (the chassis, the frame, the brakes, etc.) jeopardizing your safety, and you won’t even see it happening.
Be sure, as part of your spring cleaning plan, to schedule both a car wash and an undercarriage wash.
