South Carolina Honda Helps Drivers Get Ready For Spring
Motorists across the nation are eager to usher in a new season. After a long winter complete with snow and ice across much of the country, the warmer weather associated with spring will be a welcome relief from record low temperatures. As the days grow longer and the sun begins to shine brighter, motorists have the opportunity to address car care issues which may have been overlooked during the winter months. The team at South Carolina Honda provides the following spring cleaning tips.
Hit the car wash- When temperatures hover at or below freezing for weeks at a time, washing your car is not an option. This means dirt and grime accumulates on exterior surfaces which can wreak havoc on your paint job. At Greenville Honda, we suggest drivers first use an automatic car wash to address the initial layer of dirt buildup from the winter months. A second washing by hand will provide a more detailed cleaning. Follow up with a good wax and your car will look like new again.
Break out the cleaning supplies- Once you have removed the dirt on the outside, turn your attention to the interior of your car. We track plenty of debris into our cars during the winter months. A good vacuum will take care of most of the loose dirt that finds its way inside our vehicles. Next, using products designed for car care, wipe or wash all interior surfaces. Pay attention to cracks and crevices where dirt and dust tend to hide. Honda dealers remind drivers to not forget the windows which are often overlooked in the cleaning process.
Spring tune-up- Now that your car is looking shiny and new, you have one last task before your spring cleaning is done. A clean car is nice to look at, however it doesn't affect a vehicle's performance. Schedule a spring tune-up to ensure all operating systems are in proper working order. Now would be the perfect time to have the air conditioning system checked as well before the long hot days of summer arrive.
