Summer brings warm weather and plenty of opportunities to be outside, enjoying blue skies and nature. Sunny days make us happy and ready for an adventure. So we pop into our vehicles and take a drive down a long, dusty road. Unfortunately, while we get to enjoy the breeze and beautiful scenery, our cars suffer through the sun’s UV rays, and bugs splatter on the grill and windshield. You depend on your vehicle to get you where you need to be, so why not give it the attention it deserves and practices some summer cleaning habits? You can also invest in your ride’s longevity by checking out the services of Calgary’s preferred mobile auto detailing service.
4 Suggestions to Keep Your Car Looking Great All Season Long
Ensuring your truck or car looks its best and is protected against the intense summer sun is simple with these four suggestions:
- Wash Your Ride Weekly: Your car doesn’t see the same muck in summer as it does during the winter. However, it gets dirty with road dust that can harm your vehicle’s finish. A light washing after a long trip or traveling through some rough terrain helps keep grime at bay. Weekly wash downs give the best results, even if you don’t think there is too much-accumulated dirt. Keep these tips in mind when you grab your washing bucket:
- Use products specific to vehicles: Dish soap can cause more harm than good, so be sure to use car wash soaps.
Rinse your car off before you wash: Start by spraying off the big chunks of debris and leaves before you begin washing down the vehicle.
Move to the shade to dry: By drying off in the shade, you can help avoid water spots that the sun will cause.
- Focus on High Traffic Areas: Don’t wait for your weekly cleaning to get the bugs scrubbed off your truck. Tiny as they are, they hit hard when you are moving, and they can cause small scratches in the clear coat. The sun finds ways to fade your paint, and baked-on bugs are a great start. Make it a habit to focus on those high traffic areas like your windshield and front grill.
- Keep the Inside Clean: We spend more time outside in the summer. That means we carry more dirt and sand into our vehicles than usual. The grime will wear down your car mats and not give you the lifespan you expect. Also, slight spills from drinks soak into carpet and floorboards. Left unattended, mould can grow. Clean up spills right away.
- Apply Wax: Keep the clear coat protected, so your ride looks its best by applying wax and conditioners. Don’t forget to treat your tires as well. They take quite the beating and will benefit from some extra TLC.
