Clean the inside , too Vacuum and sponge your interior every time you wash your car. Dirt particles are abrasive, and spilled liquids, such as soda, can be corrosive.Vacuum your interior thoroughly with a powerful vacuum (small cordless models are generally too weak). Use the appropriate wand heads when vacuuming. The bare metal wand can mar and scratch surfaces. Sponge vinyl surfaces clean with a solution of mild detergent and water.

Renew fabric upholstery: Spraying fabric car seats and carpets with a fabric protectant, such as Scotchgard, will make them resist dirt and stains, and make them easier to clean. Thoroughly clean the fabrics before using one of these products and then test the product on an inconspicuous place to be sure the treatment will not discolor the fabric.

Rotate your tires: Rotating your tires helps to distribute tire wear evenly and ensures that you’ll get the maximum road life out of them. The first rotation is especially important.Your owner’s manual should specify both rotation period and pattern. If not, rotate your tires every 6,000 to 7,500 miles (9,700 to 12,000 km) — your tire dealer should know the correct pattern of tire rotation WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Use wheel cleaner: Your car’s wheels are down
there on the road, taking the brunt of road dirt.
Add in the dust that wears off your brake pads
and you’ve got a formula for stains that are tough
to remove when you wash your vehicle. Car-
washing liquid won’t do the job.You need a wheel
cleaner specifically formulated to remove such
stains. Be sure to buy the correct formulation.
Some cleaners are designed for metal wheels, and
others for painted or clear-coated wheels.The
metal wheel cleaners come in various
formulations as well, depending upon whether
your metal wheel has a satin, aluminum, or
chrome finish. Protect metal wheels with wheel
polish, painted wheels with a coat of wax.

Blast mats with the hose When washing your
car, drag out the rubber or carpet floor mats
and blast them with the hose.This will dislodge
dirt particles that, if allowed to build up, will
grind holes in your mats. Let the mats dry
thoroughly in the sun before reinstalling them.

Fill with washer fluid only: Don’t add water to
the windshield washer reservoir. It won’t clean
as well as washer fluid, and it may freeze in
cold weather and damage the system. Don’t try
to run your windshield washer system once you
suspect there’s no more fluid in the tank, or you
may damage the washer fluid pump. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Place a towel under baby seats: All manner of
food bits and liquids can accumulate under a
baby seat, where they can permanently stain
the upholstery. Place a sheet of heavy plastic
and an absorbent towel under the seat to
prevent damage, and re-secure the seat
according to the manufacturer’s directions. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Tape saves light covers: A cracked taillight or
turn-signal cover, if left alone, may allow your
light compartment to fill with water and cause
some real damage. A good short-term fix is to
tape over the crack. Use the red or orange tape
that’s made for this purpose.You can purchase
it at many automotive parts stores. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Preserve door and window seals: Wipe a rubber
protectant (such as Armor-All) or silicone on
door and window weatherstripping to keep it in
good condition. Don’t use an oilbased product,
such as WD-40, because the oil will damage the
rubber. Regular cleaning and treatment of your
car’s weatherstripping will also lessen the
likelihood of your door sticking to its rubber
seal in cold weather, a common cause of
damage to the rubber. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Change oil frequently: Your dad knew that
frequent oil changes were key to keeping his
Buick on the road another year. And while
owner’s manuals for today’s cars recommend
increasing long intervals between oil changes,
the fact remains — frequent changes flush
abrasive dirt and metal particles out of the
engine, prolonging its life. Most owner’s
manuals recommend a more frequent interval
for “severe conditions.” To maximize the life of
your engine, follow the severe intervals
recommendations, especially if drive regularly in
stop-and-go traffic. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Use upholstery cleaners on soiled seats: The
same upholstery cleaners you use at home can
be used on your car’s upholstery. Use them
sparingly, however, to avoid saturating the
fabric. Use a clean cloth to wipe away the
foam. On velour seats, brush the fibers gently
to avoid matting them and to preserve the
original texture of the fabric. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Choose a good car insurer: Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, disaster inevitably strikes — typically in the form of an accident. Make sure that your car will be repaired to the best possible standard by finding an insurer that will pay for parts from the original manufacturer and guarantee the repairs it authorizes.

Keep an auto log: Keep a pad and pencil in the glove compartment and use them to record your gas fill-ups and mileage. If you notice that your gas mileage worsens, mention it to your service man. It may be an early warning sign that something is wrong with your car. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Keep leather from drying out and cracking:
Leather cars seats are durable and don’t require
a lot of maintenance. After a few years,
however, the seats can become soiled. Use a
leather cleaner to remove dirt and stains.Then
apply a leather protectant formulated for
pigmented or top-coated grain leather (the
leather used for most leather car upholstery).
Protectants will resist stains and make the
upholstery easier to clean in the future. Choose
a protectant that includes conditioners to keep
your leather supple WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Use your parking brake . Even if you are driving a
car with an automatic transmission, use your
parking brake regularly, especially if you're parked
on an incline. It helps keep the brakes adjusted in
the rear of the car and makes them last longer.
Do not use your parking brake in the wintertime
because your brake will freeze and it will be stuck
until it thaws out. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |
