Vehicle Cleaning Checklist for Spring Cleaning Your Car

• Wash Down Carpeting and Upholstery: Start by using a damp cloth to wash down the seats. If you have a vacuum handy, use it.
• Clean the Console: While avoiding electrical connections, wipe down the consoles and the top of the dashboard. Clean out the cupholders while you’re at it.
• Take a Chance to Reorganize: Now’s the perfect time to get rid of any trash or throw away items that you needed through the winter.
• Make the Windows Shine: Your windows might need attention after all that winter driving. Clean them to a mirror shine using window cleaner and a dry towel. Come to think of it, give the mirrors a mirror shine, too.
• Check the Trunk: Remove any unused items, check to be sure your spare tire and emergency kit are in good order, then run over the trunk with a vacuum cleaner.
• Wash the Exterior: Your first spring wash should be thorough enough to clean grime from cracks and under edges. Use a soft towel and mild detergent.
• Check the Wheels: The wheels can really suffer during winter months. Remove the hubcaps and give them a good wash, then scrub both the tires and the wheel wells. Take the opportunity to check tire pressure and lug nut tightness.
• Give It Some Wax: Wax forms a vital protective layer that may have been worn away by tough winter conditions, so add another layer for ongoing peace of mind.
• Replace Wipers: Wipers work harder when it’s snowing in Bolingbrook or raining hard in Naperville, so now is the ideal time to change them.
