🚗 The Ultimate Car Care Checklist: Keep Your Ride Spotless & Save Big 💰

Your car isn’t just a way to get from point A to B — it’s part of your lifestyle, your image, and for some of us, our sanity. But keeping your ride clean and protected isn’t always as simple as running through the local wash.

That’s why we built the Ultimate Car Care Checklist — a no-fluff, highly effective guide to keeping your vehicle showroom fresh, inside and out.

✅ Weekly Wash Checklist (Exterior)

• Rinse thoroughly to remove loose grime

• Use a pH-neutral soap with microfiber mitts

• Clean wheels last (different tools & dirtier area)

• Dry with clean microfiber towels — avoid swirl marks

• Apply spray wax or sealant for added protection

🧼 Interior Refresh Routine

• Vacuum floors, seats, and vents

• Wipe all surfaces with an interior-safe cleaner

• Treat leather or vinyl with a conditioner

• Clean glass with a streak-free formula

• Finish with a subtle air freshener or odor eliminator

🔍 Monthly Maintenance Musts

• Inspect for bug guts, sap, or bird droppings — these destroy paint fast

• Clean trim and apply plastic protectant

• Check tire shine — reapply if dull or streaky

• Shake out floor mats and pressure wash if rubber

🚫 Top 5 Car Detailing Mistakes (We See These All the Time)

1. Using dish soap on paint (strips wax & dries out surfaces)

2. Scrubbing with dirty sponges or towels

3. Skipping wheel wells and undercarriage

4. Applying wax in direct sunlight

5. Forgetting the door jambs (they collect grime!)

🔧 Tools of the Trade

We swear by:

• Grit guards (to keep dirt out of your mitt)

• Tornador guns for deep interior cleans

• Soft detailing brushes (for emblems, vents, seams)

• Ceramic-safe soaps & towels
