After enduring yet another long winter season, most cars and trucks are ready for a good spring cleaning. The extreme temperatures and miserable weather conditions that go hand-in-hand with winter can take a toll on both drivers and their vehicles. To ensure there is no lasting damage from winter weather and also prepare for the hot days of summer ahead, drivers are encouraged to devote some time and effort to spring cleaning. Reading Kia offers these three tips to get your car in tip-top shape for the upcoming months.
Tackle the interior- Throughout the winter months, we track all types of dirt and debris into our vehicles, however the amount of time spend cleaning the interior is normally less than that of warmer months. Kia dealers in Reading encourage car owners to break out the shop vac and car cleaning products to give the interior surfaces a good cleaning. Your interior cleaning efforts should focus on upholstery, floors and floor mats, all surface areas and windows. A hint of air freshener can also go along way to neutralize any lingering stuffiness or other odors resulting from a lack of fresh air.
Wash away winter grime- Snow, ice, mud and products used to treat highways during the winter accumulate on your vehicle's exterior surfaces. As soon as the weather permits, drivers should head to the nearest car wash to begin the process of removing this buildup of dirt and grime. Kia dealers also recommend following up with a hand washing which will allow drivers to get a closer look at their vehicle to potentially spot any problem areas which may have been hidden by dirt.
Spring tune-up- To ensure the cold weather caused no lasting damage to the operating systems of your car, schedule a tune-up at your local Kia dealer. In doing so you can prevent mechanical problems in the future and also provide technicians the opportunity to check your air conditioning system to be better prepared for the long, hot days of summer soon to come.
