Spring Clean:

I don’t mean give the mat a shake out, and throw out your wrappers from last week. I mean, get some elbow grease into it and get every piece of dirt and dust out of your car. Take out all the rubbish and receipts, vacuum and shampoo the upholstery and mats, and get into all the crevasses in the boot where trash and dust gathers. Remember all the times you lost corn chips down the side of your seat? It’s time for a rubbish reconnaissance mission. Take your seat cushions out and do a vigorous clean, then attack the engine bay and dash, getting all the dust and coffee spills. 

A professional clean is an alternative, but a solid afternoons work can make a huge difference. And, of course, cast an eye over the exterior and get rid of all the dirt, rust, damage and scratches that you can. Start with an extensive scrub up, then see what level of damage you’d like to deal with. There are some simple ways to cover scratches and paint chips from your local auto store, but dents and panel damage will probably need some repair from a panelbeater.

Sit in the drivers seat, and examine your dash and steering wheel. With the grime gone, look for any superficial damage you can upgrade quickly an easily, such as a steering wheel cover, some quality seat foam (which you can often find cheap second hand), seat covers, and dashboard covers. Ensure all the dash lights are fully functioning, as they can dim over time. Your headlights can do the same, so you may like to head the headlights restored and shining bright. Windscreen wipers and door seals can wear, proving inefficient in the rain and letting the cold air in.

Easy Maintenance:
Flush all your fluids to give your car a new lease on life. From your power steering, to your brake fluid, your oil and your antifreeze, these will all result in a smoother engine and add to a like-new driving experience.

Your wheels may be unaligned, or damaged from a lifetime of unchecked thrashing. These will be taking away from your cars performance, so look for wheels that need replacing. You won’t believe just how much this can affect your quality and control over your drive, and keeps your car safe on the roads. While some of us procrastinate between services, a tune up and quick solution to any engine damage is crucial to keeping your car like-new.

You can buy a car air freshener, but a great way to keep the car from smelling stale is to deodorize your air conditioning. There are simple ways to do this yourself, such as changing the cabin air filter, spraying it down with an air deoderizing spray, then starting the air-con. Spray a disinfectant into your air intake until you can smell the disinfectant reaching your car, so you know it is affecting the whole channel of the air-con.
