Now that you have all the trash out and everything organized, it is time to vacuum the carpet and condition the leather and vinyl. First, take your time and dust out all the vents and small places with a good clean 1” paint brush. Then using a damp micro ber towel, wipe down the seats, dash, door panels and console. Now it’s time to condition the leather and vinyl covered areas. I suggest using a good leather cleaner and conditioner on them.
Now that you have all the trash and junk out of the trunk, take a leaf blower and blow out the trunk to remove as much dust and dirt as possible. Give the trunk a good vacuuming to get the remainder of the dirt out. Now we can move to exterior of the car.
Tires and wheels. If you have winter tires on your car, it is time to change back to the summer tires. Before exchanging the wheels and tires, this is the best time to clean and wax the wheels and condition the rubber before putting them on your car. If you are using the same tires and wheels, you can wait and clean them when you wash the car. Be sure to check your air pressure.
Winter’s Grime Be Gone!
SWPRING CLEANING
shape for summer fun. Even though we didn’t have much of a winter, it’s still a good time to give your car a fresh coat of clean. Whether you just leave your car in the garage all winter, or you drive it all winter long they all can use a good spring cleaning.
Floor Mats. If you have winter mats for your car, then now is the time to switch back to the summer mats. If you use the same mats all year, then just pull them out and give them a good vacuuming. You may have to spray them with water or a cleaner to get everything off. Put them to the side and let them dry.
Clean out the trash. Our cars seem to collect all kinds of junk and trash and we’re all guilty of ignoring it; letting it pile up in our cars and trunks. Clean everything out of your trunk and start
ith Spring coming soon, it’s out fresh for Spring. Go through your time to start thinking about interior, removing anything that is not getting your Porsche back into needed. Organize everything you have
stored in the glove box, etc.
