Wipe the seats with warm, damp cloth. We don\u2019t recommend to use cleaning products or chemicals. The water is universal cleaner and for good reason, it works perfectly and it is harmless almost all surfaces. If the stain is really stubborn, add a little detergent to the water. If you have the opportunity, use carpet cleaning machine.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Check under the seats<\/strong>
\nIf you have a general method to clean the car, it can be hard to spot these sites. From old coffee cups and children gloves it\u2019s amazing how many things you can find under the seats. Tilt the seat forward and backward as much as possible and clean the area below.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Do not forget parts under the carpet<\/strong>

\nA lot of stuff can accumulate in the car during the winter. From ice scraper through empty washer fluid bottles to old blankets, a lot of things can be in the trunk. Clean it up from \u201cwinter disorder\u201d. Vacuum the trunk.
\nThis is a good time to check the spare tire that it\u2019s in good condition or not and it\u2019s important that the first aid kit can also be right.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Clean the windows<\/strong>
\nAfter the winter road conditions, the windows need a little extra attention. Clean them with window cleaner inside and out. Wipe with a dry towel. Apply the same on the mirrors.
\nAfter a harsh winter, many vehicles need new wiper. Travel with only a well-functioning especially in strong in the heavily rainy spring weather.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Clean the wheels<\/strong>
\nPay particular attention to the wheels. Remove the wheel trims and wash them. It\u2019s a good time to check the tire pressure and tight the wheel nuts.
\n\u2013 Wash the headlights and rear lights
\nThere are few things that can be so dirty during a harsh winter as the headlights and rear lights. Most drivers still pay less attention to them. As long as the lights are working and the bulb don\u2019t burn out, they don\u2019t worry. However, these lamps are extremely important for night visibility and safety.
\nGet a warm, damp cloth and wipe the front headlights and rear lights as well. Thus, other motorists and motorcyclists will see us from afar.<\/p>\n

\nWash it gently. Avoid that the electrical connections get wet, but wipe them properly. Clean the cup holder as well. Use a damp cloth to wipe the top of the dashboard, but be careful, let it thoroughly dry.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t recommend to use it all the time, but once or twice a year \u2013 especially during the spring \u2013 it\u2019s a good idea. The wax has several advantages: insulates the paint, gives the car a glossy surface and it is resistant to water droplets.
\nSelect a spray or liquid to achieve the best results. If you buy a new product, try it on a more hidden body panel to test that it works properly or not. If you prefer to take your car into a car washer, choose an option that includes a wax spray or coating at the end.<\/p>\n
