Now that the snow has melted and
warm weather has arrived, consider
giving your car a good spring
cleaning, both inside and out. The
auto experts at Canadian Tire can
help with the right tools and tips for
getting your car in tip-top shape this
spring.
“Canadians spend a lot of time in
their cars, so it's important to keep
them properly maintained and
cleaned after the harsh winter
months,” says Michelle Massicotte,
associate vice president of car care
and accessories at Canadian Tire. “A
clean car, free of clutter and musty
odours is more comfortable to drive
in, healthier, and looks good too.”
Interior Car Cleaning
•Clear out garbage from inside
your car. Make sure to check under
seats and in the trunk for anything
that could be hiding.
•Clean the dashboard, consoles,
door panels and interior windows.
you can buy special cleaning
products to help protect the interior
surfaces of your car and keep it
looking new.
•Remove floor mats and vacuum
the carpets and seats.
•Replace rubber mats with carpet
mats.
Exterior Car Cleaning
•Mix a car detergent with water
and soap up the car using a sponge.
Pay particular attention to areas
where dirt has accumulated, such as
wheel wells.
•Rinse the soap off with a hose.
Be sure to give the undercarriage a
good rinse to get the salt off to
prevent rust and corrosion.
•When the car is dry, buff the
exterior with wax for extra shine and
protection.
Keeping your car clean is a simple
maintenance step that makes a big
difference to how your car looks and
how you'll feel driving it. Make it
fun by inviting friends or family to
help you out.
