How to Keep Your Car Looking Brand-New Inside and Out
No matter how many bells and whistles you can get in a new car these days, there’s one thing that will always make your ride stand out—a clean and tidy interior. A messy car is an eyesore, so we’ve compiled a list of tips on how to keep yours looking brand-new inside and out by following the steps below:
Keep it covered.
One of the best ways to keep your car looking great is by keeping it clean and dry. A well-maintained vehicle will require far fewer repairs, as well as a lot less work on your part in general. To do this, we recommend covering your car with a car cover when you park it outside overnight. This will help protect against dust, bird droppings, and other debris that can get lodged in between crevices and start rusting away the metal underneath.
Car covers also help keep the rain off of the paint job by acting as a barrier between the elements and your vehicle’s exterior surface. Additionally, covering your car will keep harmful UV rays from making their way through to its interior components—keeping them looking brand-new for years to come.
Change cruiser consoles
Cruiser consoles are a great way to personalize your car. They come in a variety of colors and styles, so you can find one that fits your style perfectly.
To remove the old console, take the key out of the ignition and press the button on the front of the console. This will release any latches holding it in place. Then use a screwdriver to pry up some of the clips holding it down. Once these are loosened, you should be able to pull out the entire assembly from under your dashboard easily.
The new 79 series consoles is designed for easy installation with no drilling or cutting required. Just line up the holes on either side with those on your dashboard, then press down firmly until all four clips snap into place around the edges of your dashboard.
Don’t forget about a car panel beater
If you’re looking for a way to keep your car looking new, you may want to consider using a car panel beater.
A car panel beater is a tool that’s used to fix dents in your car. It can be used on all types of cars, from SUVs to sedans and even trucks. The material that the beater is made out of is typically steel or aluminum. These materials are very strong and durable, which helps protect your vehicle from other dents that might occur while driving down the road.
The tool works by striking the area of the dent with several different tools at once. This helps pull out any creases or wrinkles in the metal so that it goes back into place properly again. You can also use these tools on your own if needed; however, they can be quite expensive if purchased separately from an actual kit.
Check the tyres
According to Hackett’s Discount Tyres, tyre servicing in Brisbane, the tyres are the only part of your vehicle that actually touch the ground, so they’re exposed to more wear and tear than any other part of your car. That’s why it’s important to inspect them regularly for damage.
You should also be aware of how much tread is on your tires before taking a long trip, since you may need to buy new ones if they’re too worn down.
Clean the inside often
The inside of your car is an important part of its appearance, so it’s important to clean it regularly. Dirt, dust, and grime can build up quickly and make the inside look dull. To keep your car looking brand-new on the inside, wipe down surfaces with a damp microfiber cloth every few days. If you have pets or kids who get into everything, you may want to consider using a disinfectant spray once a week as well.
Wash and wax regularly
A clean car looks and drives better, so it’s important to wash regularly. Use mild soap and wash the vehicle in the shade. Avoid washing in direct sunlight because it can dull the paint. Use a high-quality sponge or mitt to gently scrub the exterior surfaces and use a soft towel on the glass to dry off excess water. Be sure to wash your car with a gentle touch when using an abrasive brush or cloth.
Waxing is also important because it protects from UV damage, which causes fading over time, especially if you live in an area with high levels of sun exposure (such as Southern California). Waxing should be done 1-2 times per year depending on how often you drive your vehicle—more frequent waxes will protect against oxidation better than less frequent ones—but every few months should be sufficient for most cars unless they’re highly exposed to elements like salt water or snow/ice during cold weather months (in which case you’ll need more frequent applications).
Never leave spills or stains on your seats for more than a day.
Do not leave spills or stains on your seats for more than a day. The longer the spot stays put, the harder it will be to remove and the more damage it will do. Even if you think a stain isn’t noticeable, try cleaning it right away. If you wait too long, stains can stiffen and harden so much that they’ll require professional cleaning services to remove them—and even then, there’s no guarantee they’ll come out completely.
The sooner you clean up spills of any kind (including pet accidents), the less likely they are to stick around for long enough to cause permanent damage.
Don’t forget about your car’s floor mats
Most people tend to focus on cleaning their seats when caring for their vehicles, but that leaves their floor mats neglected. Just like any other object inside your vehicle, dirty floor mats can attract dirt and dust over time—and depending on where these particles land about where someone sits down inside their car every day (i.e., near feet), this accumulation could lead to foot odor problems later on down the road when those particles become trapped between shoes/socks/etcetera and skin contact occurs between those surfaces instead of being swept away by regular foot traffic across both types of materials during daily commutes.
Keep things smelling good with air fresheners
To avoid foul odors emanating from pets who haven’t had time yet after eating something stinky before entering back into their home territory; or worse still. When taking trips outside town overnight, you might want to consider purchasing some nice-smelling essential oils such as lemon verbena oil spray which contains natural citronellol combined with other fragrances made specifically designed.
Use seat covers for extra protection
If you’re worried about the wear and tear on your car’s interior, a great way to protect it is with seat covers. Seat covers are easy to install, remove and wash; they can help keep your upholstery looking brand new longer by shielding it from spills and stains that may occur when you’re out driving around town.
