How to wash your car without scratching the paint

The inside of your vehicle is subjected to some pretty rough treatment over the winter. There’s no respite from snow, mud, sand and road salt; seats collect surprising amounts of debris from salt-dirty coats and bags, and salt-caked car rugs look as if they’re beyond redemption. Fortunately, it’s possible to remedy this situation once the warm weather arrives. First of all, it’s essential to have the right cleaning products. Car specialty stores and big box stores have entire aisles filled with products dedicated to automotive care. Just be sure to use the appropriate products for optimal results. Make war on stains

Now that summer is on its way, car owners will start hauling out the bucket and sponge and hose for a bit of car washing on a Sunday afternoon. Sweet paradise! However, did you know that the majority of people do more harm than good to their car’s paint job simply because they aren’t aware of a few basic rules? First of all, never, ever use home cleaning products, such as dish soap or laundry detergent, on your car. These detergents are not designed for sheet metal or high gloss paint and should never be used for this purpose. There are loads of soaps on the market speci-

fically designed for washing cars.

to a professional who will be able to recommend the appropriate product for your vehicle and your require- ments. A good sealant can protect your car against damage from rock fragments and other debris for two full years, making it a great investment.

The next thing to remember is to always use a micro- fiber cloth when washing your car.After all, you don’t want to spread the dirt around and rub it into the sur- face of your paint with a wash mitt or brush, do you? You should also avoid using circular motions when washing your car. That way you won’t make spider web-shaped grooves on the paint’s surface. After you’ve got your vehicle looking like new, think about applying a paint sealant. This step is best left

Be sure to use gentler products when clea- ning leather and leatherette. This type of product often includes a protective coating that restores suppleness to leather. The use of foams designed to penetrate deep into the upholstery is a must for fabric seats. Applying a sealant will help protect these surfaces after they’ve been cleaned. Cleaning the carpets is simpler but it requires as much effort. The first step is to vacuum them to remove as much embedded debris as possible. Next comes the clean- ing up operation, which can be done with the help of a specialized product or, in the case of bad stains, a steam cleaner. The use of a water and vinegar solution can work miracles when it comes to road salt stains. If the stains don’t disappear straight away, simply repeat the process. The important thing to remember is that you should always use the right product for the type of surface you want to clean. The inte- rior of your car will be all the better for it.
