Spring Car Maintenance in 5 Easy Steps
Start With a Good Wash
First, rinse the car down to remove larger pieces of dirt and grime. Then you can add soapy water to the exterior, but make sure the soap is designed for car washing. Liquid detergents and dish cleaners can strip away the wax and damage the paint. You can also apply a conditioner to the rubber seals on the doors and trunk to prevent them from drying and cracking in the summer.
