Want to learn the best techniques for a sparkling clean ride? This post by Synthetic Motorsports in Perry will show you how to clean your car inside and out, step by step.

Why Should You Clean Your Car Regularly?

Looking after your vehicle's cosmetic shape is as important as taking it to the shop for service. Of course, following a car cleaning routine can keep your rig looking amazing for longer, but that is not all. Here are other great benefits of washing your car regularly:

• Regular cleaning helps maintain your car's value, making it easier to sell when the time comes.
• Abrasive elements such as tree sap, bird poop, and road grime can accumulate on your car's surface and cause scratches and chips. Regular cleaning can help prevent this damage and thus extend the life of your vehicle.
• Driving with a dirty windshield reduces visibility and increases the risk of accidents. Regular cleaning ensures that your windows are clear and debris-free, enhancing your safety on the road.

How to Deep Clean Your Car

Gather Your Tools

For starters, ensure you have all the necessary tools to clean your car, including:

• Two buckets (one for soapy water and one for cleaning your microfiber towels)
• Car wash solution
• Microfiber towels
• Wheel cleaner
• Tire brush
• Wheel brush
• Hose or pressure washer
• Blower (optional)
• Vacuum
• Soft brush attachment for vacuum
• Crevice tool for vacuum
• All-purpose cleaner
• Glass cleaner
• Leather cleaner and conditioner (if applicable)

Prepare the Car

Park your car in a shaded area, and remove large debris like leaves and twigs from the windshield and other surfaces. Next, rinse the car with a hose to remove loose dirt and grime. You can also use a pressure washer, but be careful not to use too much pressure, as it can damage the paint.

Wash the Wheels and Tires

The tires are typically the dirtiest part of a car, so start by cleaning these elements. Remember, if you leave them for last, you could splash the freshly cleaned paint with brake dust and dirt. That said, spray the wheels and tires with a wheel cleaner and let them sit for a few minutes. Use a tire brush to scrub these elements' surface and a wheel brush to clean the wheels. Lastly, rinse the wheels and tires with a hose.

Wash

Fill a bucket with water and add the car wash solution as directed. Dip a microfiber towel into the solution and start washing the car from the top down. Use a circular motion and be gentle to avoid scratching the paint. Wash and rinse your towels in a second bucket filled with water as they get dirty. That way, you'll avoid spreading dirt and grime over the surface.

Rinse

After washing, rinse the car thoroughly with a hose, starting from the top down. Make sure you remove all soap residue to avoid spots.

Dry

Use drying towels to dry the car, starting at the top and working your way down. If you have a blower, use it to remove water from hard-to-reach areas like mirrors and door handles.

Clean the Interior

Now that the exterior is clean, it's time to tackle the interior. Start by removing water bottles, receipts, wrappers, or any unwanted large debris. Next, vacuum the seats, carpets, and floor mats. Use a soft brush attachment to avoid damaging the upholstery. You can also use a crevice tool to reach tight spaces like between the seats.

Wipe Down Surfaces

Wipe down the dashboard, console, and door panels with a microfiber cloth and an all-purpose cleaner. Be careful not to use too much cleaner, which can leave a residue. For leather surfaces, use a leather cleaner and conditioner.

Clean the Windows

Spray the windows with a glass cleaner and wipe them down with a clean microfiber cloth. Use a circular motion to avoid streaks.

Finish Up

Finally, put everything back in its place and give your car a final once-over. Check for any missed spots or streaks and touch them up as needed. Lastly, admire your clean car and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done!
