Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home; it’s also important to give your car a little extra TLC when spring arrives. Deep cleaning your vehicle can seem a little daunting at first, but when you follow these tips from our BMW service experts, you can enjoy a fresh, clean car in no time.
Empty the Interior
Spring is the perfect time to get rid of all the clutter inside your car. Give your entire cabin a thorough vacuuming and wipe down all surfaces. Also, don't forget to check under your seats and in cracks and crevices for any trash or food. It will also help if you take out your floor mats and clean them separately.
Use the Appropriate Tools and Supplies
Not all cleaners are alike. When you’re ready to clean the exterior of your vehicle, it’s important to use the appropriate cleaning agents for your car.
Window cleaners, body cleaners, and tire cleaners are not all the same, so make sure to choose products that are safe for your car. If you're looking to clean hard-to-reach areas of your vehicle, invest in a hand mitt rather than an everyday kitchen rag. Microfiber towels also work well when it comes to drying.
Check Parts with Limited Lifespans
When spring arrives, it's important to inspect any parts with limited lifespans. Are all of your lights working properly? Do your windshield wipers still properly clear your windshield? What about the fluids under your hood and your filters? You want to ensure everything is working properly before you head into spring.
Schedule Routine Maintenance
Even if things are working perfectly, you can’t overlook routine maintenance. It’s one of the best ways to increase your vehicle’s lifespan, and even if you don’t need any part replacements, there’s still service that needs to be done. For example, you need to have your oil changed on a regular basis, and you should also rotate your tires to avoid uneven wear.
