Car cleaning tips to keep your car shiny and clean


I used to clean my car every week to keep it shine. I also use dergreasers to my car engine to remove unwanted grease and dirts. I have a lot of cleaning paraphernalia. I also bought buffer equipment to polished my car after wax application. It is so nice to drive a car when it is properly cleaned. I would like to share some of my car cleaning tips so that you will also be able to maintain your car at its best.

• Keep a Small Trash Bag in Your Car - This will help you when you're on the move and you have something that you need to throw away. You can simply toss your trash in the bag and when you get to a garbage can, you will have all the trash in one place so you can simply toss it and forget about it.

• To Get Rid of Odors in the Carpet and Upholstery - Sometimes spills or other things can cause odors to happen in your car. That is something you don't want to have, because most of the time, our cars are closed up and we breathe the same air until we get out! To fix it, sprinkle baking soda on the carpet and seats and allow it to sit for an hour or so. After the hour is up, vacuum your car thoroughly to remove all traces of it. The odors will absorb into the baking soda and when you vacuum them, the odors will be gone!

• To Make the Dash and Interior Shine - If you are at home and want your interior to shine without running out to the car for specialized car products, simply thoroughly clean the interior with a safe spray cleaner. Then, using a paper towel, dab some baby oil on it and wipe down the interior. It works much the same way as specialized products to protect and shine your car interior. An important note: Don't wipe the baby oil on the windows or the clear items on your dash, such as your speedometer and other things.

• To Add a Yummy Fresh Scent to Your Car - All you have to do is take a few dryer sheets and place them under the seats in your car. It will make your car smell fresh and great each time you get in! These will last for a while too. Once you start to notice that the smell is gone, you can add new dryer sheets. They work just as well as an air freshener and they are cheap!

• To Make the Outside of Your Car Stay Shiny and Pretty - When you visit the carwash, get the wax rinse after having washed your car. This will help keep your car stay cleaner for a longer period of time and help it resist dust and dirt. Most automated car washes have this wax rinse included with their super car washes.

• Use Car Seat Covers - These are great because you can get different colors and styles to suit your own taste. Then, should your seats happen to get dirty, you can simply remove them and wash them. This will keep your seats from getting filthy!

Using these tips and ideas, you can keep your car cleaner and fresh!

  3. Water based car wax would be much better option. Off course, this review also gives you complete information about product quality, protection capability against UV rays, pollutants and extreme weather.
