It’s halfway through Spring and time to look at detailing your car if you haven’t already done so. Car detailing will generally cost $150.00 but you can do it from home to save money.  Your car will look and smell new again without the expense.

There are plenty of things you can use around the house to clean your car but you should buy a soap which is specific for cars so it doesn’t spoil the paintwork. It is advisable to wash your car out of the heat of the day so that when you wax it doesn’t stain the car. When washing the tyres and rims use a scrub rather than a sponge. Use a chamois to dry your car after washing. For a detailed look you will need to do a cut and polish, remembering to work in small sections. Once complete finalise with a wax. The wax will generally last for 4 months and will make cleaning your car much easier next time.

When cleaning the interior sprinkle some bicarbonate soda on the carpets before vacuuming. This will eliminate any odours and remove stains. A household upholstery cleaner can be used for the seats. When cleaning the windows use one part meth to five parts water. Now it’s time to enjoy your new car again!
