Keeping Your Car Clean
Begin washing the top of your car, rinsing as you go to avoid drying soap. Be careful if using a sponge. Dirt and grit can become trapped in the cells and scratch your paint. Dry with an old bath towel and use a good chamois to give it that extra shine. Consider using a tire protectant to prolong the life of your tires.
For cleaning your interior, use a soft toothbrush to dig into areas with crumbs or dirt. Remove stains on your upholstery with water and clothes detergent. Rinse with clean wet towels and blot to dry. Carpet cleaner can be used on your car’s carpet. For stubborn stains, mix 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide with three cups of water. Use a spray bottle or towel to wet the stain with this solution. Rinse with a mixture of 1/4 cup vinegar and 3/4 cup tap water. Blot with a dry towel.
Clean windows with rubbing alcohol and microfiber towels. Dip one with the alcohol and wipe. Immediately dry with the second towel.
