Spring started on Sunday 20 March, but the real question is… Have you started your spring clean? Whether the answer is yes or no, one thing that’s usually overlooked is your car! We’re here to give you 5 spring cleaning tips to help maintain your vehicle.
1. Engine
The engine is a car’s most critical component, yet since we hardly see it, it’s easy to neglect.
Open the hood of your car and remove any excessive dirt. If the engine looks significantly dirty, have it professionally cleaned.
2. Windshield Wipers
What tends to go hand-in-hand with Spring? A lot of rain.
Make sure you’re prepared with good wipers. You should aim to get your wipers replaced every 6 months for optimum performance.
3. Windows and Mirrors
Have the winter months made your windows and mirrors much dirtier than usual?
Clean the windows inside and out—and don’t forget the mirrors, too.
4. The Exterior
You can either visit a car wash to remove winter’s dirt and grime, or you can do it yourself! Make sure to use a soft sponge and a detergent specially designed for cars.
5. The Boot
Remove any unnecessary items that may have piled up there during the winter. While you’re there, check the spare tire to make sure that it is properly inflated in case of an emergency.
