Car Cleaning Tips

Top Tips

• When cleaning your car, always start from the top and work your way down to the bottom - otherwise dirty water will just drip down on the areas you've just cleaned
• Using a regular car cleaning cloth is fine; however for the best results, invest in a good quality microfibre cloth - they're ultra-absorbent and pick up particles such as dust and grime much more effectively
• After cleaning and drying your car, run your finger along the surface of the paint. If you feel a film of dust or residue under your finger, there are still contaminants bonded to the surface. A highly effective way to remove this is to use a clay bar - it's what the professionals use to achieve a showroom finish
• You should regularly apply car wax to your bodywork after cleaning. This will form a layer of protection that will help to maintain the condition of the paint
• Don't neglect your car interior - a quick once-over with a car hoover and some car upholstery cleaner works wonders
•  Lastly, pop a pack of car cleaning wipes into the glove compartment so you have them handy for spillages or last-minute cleaning jobs
