As the seasons change and the Texas sun starts shining brighter, it’s the perfect time to give your car a little extra attention and prepare it for the warmer months ahead. At Accelerate Auto Repair and Collision, we know that maintaining your vehicle’s appearance and functionality is essential, which is why we’re here to share some tips for spring cleaning, both inside and out.

Exterior TLC:

1. Refresh Your Paint: Even without the harsh winters experienced in other parts of the country, your car’s exterior can still accumulate dust, pollen, and other debris. Treat your vehicle to a thorough wash with a gentle car soap and water. Pay special attention to the grille, headlights, and taillights, which can collect bugs and grime.

2. Protect with Wax: While Texas winters are mild, UV rays can still take a toll on your car’s paint job. After washing, consider applying a coat of wax to protect the paint from sun damage and give it a glossy shine.

3. Shine Those Tires: Don’t forget about your tires! Clean them with a tire cleaner to remove any built-up dirt and restore their shine. Additionally, check the tire pressure and tread depth to ensure safe driving in the warmer weather.

Interior Revamp:

1. Clear the Clutter: Take a few minutes to declutter your car’s interior. Remove any trash, unnecessary items, and forgotten belongings that have accumulated over time.

2. Vacuum and Wipe Down: Dust and debris can accumulate in the nooks and crannies of your car’s interior. Use a vacuum with attachments to clean the carpets, seats, and floor mats thoroughly. Wipe down surfaces with a mild cleaner and microfiber cloth to remove any dirt or grime.

3. Freshen Up: Finish off your interior detailing by giving it a fresh scent. Consider using a car air freshener or fabric refresher to eliminate odors and leave your car smelling clean and inviting.
