How to Keep Your Vehicle Looking Like New
A new car is incredible, isn’t it? The smell, the shiny exterior, and the immaculate interior that looks too clean to be real…it’s the best.
Unfortunately, with the buzz and speed of daily life, it’s not too long before your car can start to look…not so great. Suddenly your floor mats are dirty, your cupholders are sticky, there’s dust accumulating everywhere, and your seats are constantly under threat of another stain from that leaky coffee cup of yours.
Luckily, there’s a solution to the problem of a messy car. In fact, we share the best car cleaning tips below to help you keep your vehicle looking like new.
1. Surfaces, Cupholders, and Vents: Have a new Jeep? Or maybe you fell in love with a new Chevrolet and you want to keep it looking fresh. Use a duster and a wet cleaning cloth to both clear away dust and remove stains from your interior surfaces. A foam brush is perfect to get in between the vent slats to stop grime from accumulating. You can also get removable inserts for your cupholders to make the clean-up easier.
2. Mats and Seats: Shake out your mats regularly and spend a few minutes every week or two vacuuming your seats and floors. Use a spot cleaner or a stain remover to get rid of any pesky discoloration on your upholstery. If you have light-colored seats, place a towel or a seat cover over your seats to stop any color transfer from your clothes.
3. Regular Maintenance: Beyond the interior, you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble in the long run with regularly scheduled maintenance for your vehicle. Oil changes, tire rotation, brake pad replacement and more should be taken care of to keep your car running smoothly.
At Sierra Blanca Motors Auto Group, we pride ourselves on our car maintenance services. To schedule an appointment for your vehicle, select the appropriate option below:
4. Trash: A brand-new Chevy truck looks good on the inside…but not if it’s full “car clutter.” Recycle old shopping bags by creating a DIY trash can in your car.
You can tie your makeshift trash can to the back of one of the seats or place it on the floor. Remove it when you go to get gas and have a couple of back-up bags so you’re never without a place to put any garbage you may have.
5. Devote Regular Time to Cleaning: Whether you bought a new car or used car at Sierra Blanca Motors, a consistent cleaning practice is the best way to keep your vehicle looking great. Place car care time on your schedule at least once per week and use it to wipe down, clean out, vacuum, or dust anything that needs tending to.
