Auto Tips To Live By

Posted on: 20 July 2017

When it comes to taking care of your car you will have different areas of concerns you need to take care of. From the exterior and the interior to the motor; there are many things to tend to as a responsible car owner. Here are just some of the areas to focus on:

Taking care of your car's exterior

You want to do all you can to keep the exterior of your car looking good. This means caring for the paint by parking in the shade when possible, or even in the garage if you can. It also means not parking in parking spaces where your car will likely be dinged when someone opens their car door or by getting scrapped by stray shopping carts. You also want to wash your car often with a soft rag and wax it as well.

Taking care of the motor

The best way for you to take care of your car's motor is to provide it with regular routine maintenance. This includes making sure that it gets tuned up according to the manufacturer's recommendations. It should also have its oil changed according to the manufacturer's recommendations as well. You want to stay on top of all the fluids, making sure they are filled above the low line and below the full line.

Taking care of your car's interior

When it comes to taking care of your car's interior, you want to clean it on a regular basis so dust and dirt don't become stubborn stains, making it harder for you to remove. You can also wipe down the dashboard, panels and the rest of the interior that isn't cloth with a soft rag and a product such as Armor All. Keep the carpet regularly vacuumed so it doesn't end up getting flat. You can protect the dashboard from sun damage by putting a dashboard cover on it. Using a sun visor when you are parked in the sun will protect the interior from damage as well.

One of the best ways for you to make sure the carpet doesn't get damaged and dirty to the point it can't be cleaned to look as good as you would like is to purchase a carpet kit. A carpet kit will provide you with carpet mats that you place over the original carpet. These mats can be removed anytime you want so you can clean them, as well as the original carpet.
