The experts at Ron Carter Houston Chevrolet know what it takes to care for a new or used Chevrolet
. By regularly maintaining the outside and inside of your vehicle, you can extend the life of your car or truck and keep it like new.
Here are some tips for detailing your Chevrolet for less by doing the work yourself:
Wash and Wax
If you drive often, make sure to wash and wax your Chevrolet regularly. Remove the debris and road grime with a high-quality detergent made for autos and invest in good wax to protect the finish. Wash your car weekly and add wax once a month.
Vacuum Frequently
Dirt, food crumbs, and other debris find its way into the cracks and crevices of your Chevrolet. Not only is it important to vacuum carpets and fabric upholstery regularly, you should invest in a tool kit that contains mini-attachments, allowing you to remove dirt and dust from the hard to reach places.
Clean Your Tires
Road grime and brake dust can bake on your tires courtesy of the Houston sun. When the dirt melts on to your tire, it will cut short its life expectancy. Buy a strong degreaser made for tires. Spray on the cleaner and let it set in to make it easier to remove the grease and dust. Use a clean cloth to clean the tires and a separate cloth to remove dirt from the rims and hubcaps. Make sure the cloth is soft and free of particles that can scratch the surface of the rims.
Schedule a Pros Help
By performing regular maintenance cleanings of your car or truck, it will make it less costly to have a professional detail done once or twice a year. It will take less time for them to get the job done and the pros can tackle some areas you may have missed.
