Follow these three easy steps
A little effort goes a long way. If you’re doing the cleaning yourself, here’s how to make your car shine:
- Tackle the often-overlooked spots — door, boot, and bonnet openings, plus the engine bay. These areas can make a big difference when clean.
- Vacuum the carpets, polish hard surfaces, and toss out any rubbish. Clean the windows inside and out, polish the trims, and blacken the tires for a sharp finish.
Short on time? Consider getting your car professionally groomed—a quick Google search will find you a local.
Finally, top up all the fluids, and if possible, change the oil to show your car’s been well cared for. Don’t forget to check the tire pressures—they should be even for the best impression.
