Keeping Your Car Clean Your car says a lot about who you are as a person and many people view their car as an extension of themselves and a way to express their unique personality. If this is the case, what does a dirty car say about you? Well, let’s not get into that psychological discussion. Instead, here are a few ideas to help you keep your car neat, clean, and projecting your best self.

Exterior Care The best protection for the exterior of your car (besides keeping it out of an accident) is a good coat of wax. This can be applied by professionals if you would rather not bother with the hassle yourself. That being said, the process of waxing your car is not difficult to do at home. Waxing supplies can be purchased at your local auto parts store and the associates in the store should be able to help you select the best options for your vehicle and local weather conditions. Follow the instructions for applying the wax and if you need further assistance, the internet is a great resource for information. Wax need only be applied on occasion. Refer to the product instructions for frequency of use. Other coatings may be purchased for your windows and tires that will also provide added protection from the elements and daily use of your vehicle. Take some time to do a little research so you know which products work best for the weather in your area.

Interior Care Now we move to the interior of your car. Car interiors are only susceptible to dirt, grime, and trash that we, its occupants, bring into it. Therefore it follows that your car will stay clean if you are able to minimize the dirt and trash that is brought into your car. Encourage your passengers to wipe or tap their shoes off before entering your car. This is particularly helpful in snowy weather. As snow melts, it leaves behind lots of dirt that will not evaporate like the melted snow.
