Who doesn’t admire a shiny car? Just the appeal of a brand new car prompts us to own one. Its clean knit seat covers, the soothing scent fragrance, the cleansed windscreen and the polished interiors take us all together into a whole new world.
And then, we look at our car which is quite old, full of scratches, a dislocated bumper, the dirty and oily seat covers, that overloaded dashboard, it all breaks our heart into pieces.
What if we tell you hacks to turn your existing car into a new one? If you are thinking how is this even possible, then here is a solution for you.
Follow these quick cleaning hacks on a regular basis to maintain that same feel of your car.
Declutter Your Car
One of the most obvious ones is to declutter your car. Get rid of used wipes and water bottles. Throw away the used and old newspapers. Keep your shopping bags away. Place those groceries in the kitchen. Take away all your valuable stuff and belongings. Just remove all the extra items from the driving area. Organise your stuff in the right manner. This will give your car some air to breathe. Moreover, it will even provide you with some stuff which you have long left in your vehicle.
Wipe The Central Console
The central console is the most vital part of your car’s interior. One manages the entire control of their vehicle via this control panel. Keeping it clean is a must. Wipe off the entire console using a damp smooth cloth. You can also use a glass cleaner for the same. Just spray a little amount of water or glass cleaner on the console and wipe it, in left to right direction. This will ensure a grease and finger-print free panel. With this, you own a smooth clean console to work on.
Bristles For Detailing
Just like toothbrush bristles help us in getting rid of minor food particles entangled in between our teeth, similarly, they help in getting rid of the dust particles in the nook and crannies of the car. The bristles will reach out to the crevices in the console and will give you a clean panel. One may even use a toothpick or the flat head of a screwdriver covered with a rag to clean the narrower spaces of the vehicle’s dashboard.
Toothpaste To The Rescue
All of us have experienced the aftermath of a foggy car headlight for once in our life. It becomes even harder to drive with such lights on a rainy and winter day. The fog becomes the cause for light beams to give away dimmer light. To get this problem corrected, the only solution we rely upon is the car service station which costs us heavy dollars. But here is one of the handiest solutions. Apply a whitening toothpaste on your car’s headlight lens, scrub it and wash it off. Ensure that you dry it properly. You are good-to-go with the all-new headlights in absolutely no cost.
Cleaning Inside Windows
Not only cleaning the windows from outside is necessary, but cleaning windows from inside too is important to have a clear view of the following road. The windshield and sunroofs must be cleaned on a regular basis. Make sure that you are using a microfibre towel as they are good at removing stains and avoid streaking. One can do this either by using a window cleaner or simply some soapy water would do. Always clean the window panes in a circular rotation to have scratch-free window finish.
No More Stubborn Stickers
Bumper stickers were a trend chaser at the early 2000’s. But now these have been lost with the upcoming trends. Though most of us have pulled these sticky stickers off, some of us still have one sticker. Instead of pulling them off and leaving in midway, use WD-40. This spray would prevent the adhesive from peeling off the car paint with the sticker. It will ensure proper and easy removal of the bumper sticker without causing any damage to the vehicle’s exterior.
