Cleaning Your Car in Spring

With spring now well underway, many of us will be busy decluttering and cleansing our homes, but it’s not just inside our properties where cleanliness counts for many vehicle owners, cars are like second homes, and as a result they attract just as much dirt and clutter. Giving your car a good detail at the start of spring sets you in good stead for what’s on the horizon. Spring is a time for change, after all. And there’s no change quite as satisfying as cleaning away the remanence of the cold season.

What Are The Benefits Of Spring Cleaning Your Car?

Protect your vehicle from early onset of corrosion caused by ignoring winter grime Dirt, like mud, salt and road grit which builds up in winter, is bad for your paintwork and will cause rust and corrosion, so it’s important to get rid of it in spring. Don’t forget to rinse the undercarriage.

Makes driving safer Smudged windows decrease visibility, and dirt on headlights and tail lights makes the vehicle less visible to other drivers. A complete car wash will leave windows pristine, reducing sun glare and eye strain while on the road. This makes the vehicle safer for the driver and any passengers.

Clear Out the Clutter to Save on Fuel Over winter you might put in a spare coat, cans of de-icer, heavy shoes and other extras which you don’t need to be carrying when it’s warmer. If you drive around with lots of bags, luggage and general rubbish in your car it could be costing you money.

Keeping Bugs Off

When bugs splatter on the front end of vehicles, they cause acidic damage. Have the car washed and waxed before summer arrives to add a protective barrier against bugs. The barrier will also guard the paint against UV rays and road-trip dirt.
