With the new season just beginning, it's time to dust off your vehicle and do a complete service before the big adventure and summer vacation. In fact, your car spring cleaning begins not only with a maintenance session at your garage or used car dealer, but also with a thorough cleaning of your car, SUV, van or truck.
AutoStudio 72 in Mirabel, near Saint-Jérôme, Terrebonne, Boisbriand and Laval in the northern suburbs of Montreal, gives you a few tips and tricks to help you get things done in the right order.
Preparing your Car for the Return of Spring
First of all, since it is standard practice in Quebec, you can have your summer or all-season tires installed starting March 15. There's no need to rush on this date, the nights are still cold and it would be wiser to plan to change your tires starting the first week of April 2020.
It is also important to sweep up salt and calcium build-up that can cause damage to the vehicle. It's not enough to just clean what's visible, but also the underside of your vehicle, the engine and the luggage compartment. Salt, calcium and gravel deposits can build up and contribute to advanced vehicle wear. In this regard, simply washing the interior of the vehicle will not be sufficient. Take the time to wash the exterior, the bottom of your vehicle, the engine and any other less visible areas.
The condition of the paintwork and the bodywork of the car should not be neglected either, since salt and calcium also damage the shine and colour of the vehicle. This debris accumulated over the last few months can seriously damage the condition of the paint. It is recommended that you use a wax that will protect the vehicle and restore its shine as well as the few imperfections seen by the eye.
When washing the interior of the vehicle, be sure to wash your carpets thoroughly and brush them with good cleaning products. Revisit all areas in the passenger compartment with a microfibre cloth, clean the dashboard, touch screen, seats, storage compartments and trunk, interior pockets, mirrors, clean windows, etc. Don't skimp on this work as it will allow you to spend much less time on weekly maintenance afterwards.
The spring car wash will allow you to dust your vehicle off the winter slag and get your vehicle back on track for the summer. With a cleaning product and soapy water, the interior of the car will shine again in addition to the thorough washing of all its exterior parts, not to mention the maintenance of the windshield wipers. Start off on the right foot and take a few moments to restore the shine to your vehicle and its main components.
In short, how to wash your car is not rocket science, as long as you follow a few rules, take a little time and make sure you go to every nook and cranny.
