When we transition into autumn, it is the perfect time to wash away the grime built up over summer inside and outside our vehicles. As we are moving further away from the heat of summer but not yet to the cold of winter, autumn brings falling leaves and rainstorms with a chill in the air. This transition is the best time to prepare your vehicle with both a deep clean and a range of maintenance.
Beginning with the Exterior
Caring for the outside of the vehicle is important, from the top of your vehicle to the tires. Whether you are the type to handwash your own vehicle, or you would rather go through a car wash, cleaning the exterior helps to wash away pollen and other pollutants. Your tires should be checked over to make sure that the tread is still deep and prepared for inclement weather. The windshield wipers should be looked over and evaluated to make sure they do not leave streaks behind, and the wiper fluid should be topped up. After washing the entire vehicle, doing a wax gives it both a gorgeous shine and protectants from seasonal elements.
Interior Clean-Up
The inside of your vehicle is just as important as the exterior. There is a chance that the filters within the ducts have been clogged with pollens and other irritants that can bother you while you are driving. If you were the main driver for your kids’ various sports teams and carpooling, there are bound to be spills and other stains on your upholstery. A good deep clean and vacuum will do your vehicle some good before the kids and other passengers bring the fall leaves in with them. Adding a fun vent clip with an autumn-themed scent can bring it all together!
