Quick Cleaning Tips for Your Car

Get the Showroom Shine within Minutes
Your poor car! How much it has to put up with - the dirt, the grit, the lashing of storm, the assault of snow and what not! The result? Even the most expensive car on the road starts lacking luster within a year.

As the common idea goes: it requires a long session with a sponge and bucket to get your car spanking clean. But few of us have that time to invest on a regular basis.
What if you can get the desired sheen without needing to devote so much of your precious time?
Well, our quick cleaning tips are aimed to do just that; it teaches you the secret of keeping the car shiny without needing you get stressed over it!
Target the different parts of the car separately
Attack the grime of interior and outside of your car with different approaches; use different products to clean different parts of the car such as windscreen or car tyre.
Dealing with the interior
The commonest problem suffered by your car’s interior is spillage—from your coke can, from your kid’s ice-cream cone, from your wife’s make up and so on.
Together they can create enough blotches to give your car upholstery a worn-out look.
But you can fight against them…how?
A good preventive solution is to use the coating of a product like Armor All. This coating helps you to easily wipe out the spots as soon as they appear.
If the upholstery is made of leather, apply warm water mixed with mild soap and sponge the streaks with it.
Getting rid of the blemishes from fabric is a real challenge: but we have the solution for it too. Just stir in some baking soda in warm water; now apply this liquid over the spot and wait for half an hour. After that soak the area with a dye-free towel to get rid of that stain.
One point to remember: avoid using silicon based products as they are prone to create a greasy effect.
Dealing with the exterior
Use a very soft sponge which you should wipe the car body in a circular motion. This prepares your car to get a pre-wash.
In pre washing stage avoid foam-creating pre wash product or those that come with built in polish. This locks in the dirt under the layers of the wax and makes your job tougher.
Now is the time for final wash. At this stage, first clean up the body and then move on to the tyres and bumpers, the dirtiest parts of your car!
For windows use glass cleaners specially made for the car and not house glass cleaners. White vinegars make a very good home-remedy to eliminate the blurry look from your windshields.
Polish it up
To give the quickest possible polish to your car, follow these steps:
Give the car a jet wash.
Now apply the polish when the body is wet and rub.
Rinse off with another jet wash and rub the body with a soft sponge.
Also use a chamois leather to wipe off the damp polish residues.
