The Ultimate Guide to Maintaining a Car Detail
So, you’ve done it! You’ve taken the first step to a clean car—getting it detailed professionally. What, you thought that was it? Keeping a car clean is half the battle after all. Don’t fear, it’s not as hard as it seems, all it takes is some occasional cleaning, good habits, and a good attitude! So, here it goes—Keeping Your Car Clean 101.
Fixing Old Habits
Chances are, if you just got your car detailed, it’s because it was dirty to begin with, of course. Naturally, to keep one’s car cleaned, the first step is it break those bad habits that got the car dirty to begin with. Common practices, such as eating in the car, not knocking off your feet, and leaving trash amuck are what start the spiral back to a dirty car. So, simple things such as having a designated trash compartment, leaving the food til home, and being careful of foot debris can go a long way.
Occasional Cleaning
Even the most neat and tidy people, however, make the occasional mess. But, cleaning up this mess is easy with a few tips and tricks. For one, when debris accumulates on the floor mats, remove them from the car by folding them in first, keeping all of the dirt and trash on the floor mat as you take it out. Now, just tip it over, bang it out, and you’ll be good to go. When messes happen other places, make sure to clean them up when they happen, and use what you have, no “fancy-shmancy” detailing equipment or chemicals needed!
The Easy Way Out
We get it. Old habits die hard, and cleaning a car may not be possible for one reason or another. That’s why detailers have a solution—maintenance packages. Whoever detailed your vehicle in the first place would be more than happy to come back on a biweekly, monthly, or other schedule, and clean up your car for you at a discounted rate. For reference, our maintenance interior detail costs less than half of a normal detail! So, whatever option you choose, your car, and everyone in it, will thank you!
