Routine Cadillac service is central to keeping your luxury vehicle in top shape. However, you should also give some attention to your car from a cosmetic standpoint. Periodic cleaning keeps the car in pristine condition. Here are some automotive cleaning tips for spring.
1. Remove Leaves and Debris
Leaves and debris may seem harmless, but they can actually cause gradual damage. Leaves can make their way under the trunk and block air intake. In addition, leaves emit acid as they decompose, which can damage the paint and lead to visual blemishes.
2. Replace Wiper Blades
Wiper blades are among the most frequently replaced parts, needing replacement about once every year. If the rubber on the wiper comes loose during operation, then it’s time for a replacement. Fortunately, wiper blades are inexpensive and changing them is an easy DIY process.
3. Clean the Cabin
It’s important to routinely vacuum the interior and remove trash and debris, but spring cleaning is a great way to start from scratch. If you or passengers eat or drink in the car, this can lead to crumbs and messes that add up over time. Over time, this leads to stains, odors, and bacteria buildup. You should also remove the mats and vacuum them to effectively remove dirt and contaminants.
4. Hose the Undercarriage
When you wash your car, be sure to thoroughly rinse the undercarriage. The suspension acquires a buildup of dirt, mud, and grime, especially during winter. Cleaning is best done using a pressure washer and degreasing agent. You can also use a drive-through car wash service, which uses hoses that reach the undercarriage. Though the suspension is out of sight, factors like dried mud can impede performance, so don’t skip this step.
