Tips for Cleaning Your Vehicle for Spring
Spring cleaning is essential when it comes to extending the life of your vehicle. Over time, dirt and debris from the road can build up, which can lead to corrosion. Here are a few steps you can take to keep your vehicle running right this spring:
- Use the right materials: It can be tempting to wash your car with what you have on hand, but it’s important to use the right cleaning agents for the job. This will ensure that there is no damage to the paint during washing.
- Wash in the shade: You want to dry your vehicle down all at one time, which is why it’s a good idea to wash your vehicle in the shade. This will allow you to wash your entire vehicle before drying.
- Work from top to bottom: Soap and water will drip down as you clean, which is why it’s recommended to start washing from the top and ending with the tires. Always clean your vehicle in sections to ensure maximum cleanliness.
- Dry your vehicle: It’s faster to let your vehicle air dry than wiping it down with a microfiber cloth, but not nearly as effective. When you air-dry your vehicle, it can leave behind streaks and water droplets. By drying manually, you’ll get that sleek, shiny look that makes your new Acura glow.
