Spring is here, which means it's time to give your Hyundai car or SUV a good deep clean after a long winter. Keeping your vehicle clean keeps it looking beautiful and can extend its life. Here are some spring cleaning tips to get your car sparkling clean.
Clean the Interior
Start by thoroughly vacuuming the seats, floor mats, and trunk to remove any dirt or debris that accumulated over the winter. Use a soft brush attachment to dislodge dirt from crevices and upholstery. For cloth seats, use an upholstery cleaner and scrub with a soft brush to lift stains. Wipe down vinyl and leather with a leather cleaner.
Remember to clean the inside of your windows; glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth make quick work of greasy film and smears. Use a small vacuum or cotton swabs to remove dust from air vents and tight spaces. Give the steering wheel and gear shift a good scrub to remove grime and oils from your hands. Use an all-purpose cleaner and towel to wipe down any hard surfaces like the dashboard and door panels.
Clean the Exterior
The exterior of your car takes a beating from winter weather. Give it some extra love this spring with a thorough cleaning. Start by rinsing your car to loosen dirt. Mix an automotive soap with warm water and wash from top to bottom using a soft sponge or wash mitt. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a chamois to prevent water spots.
Use a clay bar to remove stubborn contaminants like tree sap, bugs, and road grime. It's a bit of extra effort but leaves a smooth, clean surface that will turn heads all around Columbus. Follow up with a polish to restore shine and protect the paint. Don't forget to clean the wheels, wheel wells, and undercarriage to remove built-up dirt and salt. Clean and dress the tires and shine the glass inside and out.
