Now that the dreary winter weather is finally gone, it's time to get your car back to its best. Check out these spring cleaning tips to get your car looking great again!

How to Spring Clean Your Car

Chances are that after the winter weather is finally gone you take some time to clean your home and store your winter gear. The same should be done for your car. Preparing it for another season will help keep it in better shape while also making it look even better. To tackle all your car related spring cleaning, check out these tips.

Clean the Carpet

Not sure where to start your spring cleaning? We suggest giving your car's interior a deep clean before moving onto the exterior. Start off by removing your car's floor mats and set these aside while you take care of the carpet and upholstery. Grab your vacuum and attachments and work on the carpet. Be sure to push back the seats to get your car as clean as possible. Next, vacuum your car's seats in order to remove any dust, dirt, or other debris that got dragged into your car during the winter. If you have car seat covers, throw these in the wash for a real clean. Next, wipe down your seats with a damp cloth and spot teat any areas that are stained. Finally, shake off your floor mats to remove any dust, dirt, or mud stuck on the surface. Use your vacuum to suck out any debris under the surface and them give them a thorough wash.

Clean off Surfaces

Continue your interior cleaning by wiping off the surfaces in your car. Grab a damp washcloth and use this to wipe down the dashboard, steering wheel, center console, controls, and the doors. Pay extra attention the cupholders since these catch tons of spills that will result in built on grime. Finally, grab some window cleaner and wipe down your windshield and windows from the inside for a brighter shine and added visibility.

Clean out the Trunk

To finish off with the interior, pop open your trunk. Remove everything that is being stored in your trunk and sort through it all. You'll probably find quite a few winter items you no longer need to be carrying around, such as an ice scraper or winter sports gear. Remove these items and store them in order to reduce the weight you're carrying around. Trash and other items you don't need should be disposed of properly. Once you're left with only the items you do need, grab your vacuum and clean out your trunk before placing these items back in their spot. Your car doesn't only need to be cleaned this spring, it will also need a bit of maintenance to prepare it for the new season. One crucial task you must perform is giving your car a synthetic oil change in Warminster.

Replace the Tires

If you used winter tires during the last season, the time has come to change these out for all weather tires. Winter tires are great during the coldest months of the year, but they won't perform well after that. In fact, they won't grip the warm road as well and will wear out faster if used on warmer roads. If you used all season tires during the winter, they're probably quite dirty at this point. To clean them, grab a soft brush that you can use to scrape away any built on grime left over from last season. Rinse away all the dirt and take a look at your tires. If they're quite worn or damaged, it may be time for a new set.

Wash Your Car

Washing your car can make it look shiny and like new, but this isn't the most important reason for this task. A thorough wash can protect your car from exterior corrosion and other damage. Gently scrub down your car to remove grime and other elements that can damage your car's paint. Wipe down the windows, windshield, and lights for improved visibility. Focus some attention on the undercarriage since this area is usually the most exposed to corrosive substances. Finish off with a new layer of wax to keep your car well protected against the spring showers and bright sun.
