De-Clutter Your Vehicle Thoroughly

Let's say you're having a beverage while you're driving. You finish it and what do you do? You probably leave the container in your vehicle. Or, if you have a sweater on and you suddenly start feeling hot, you probably just take it off and throw it in your trunk. Many people think of their vehicle as their closet, their storage unit, and their trash can on wheels. This means that after some time, they'll be left with a completely cluttered vehicle that has clothing, shoes, trash, newspapers, and a myriad different objects in it. That's why, the first step in your vehicle spring cleaning efforts should be to de-cutter your vehicle thoroughly. Go through everything you have in it and start separating the items. Throw the garbage in the trash, return your clothing to your closet, and arrange the rest of your stuff until you're only left with the things you absolutely need to have in your vehicle. Aside from helping you keep a cleaner vehicle, doing so will help you have a stronger engine. This is because, the heavier your vehicle, the more engine will have to work, the more you'll have to spend on gas and the sooner it may wear down.

Get Your Vehicle Washed and Waxed

It should go without saying, but if you want to do a thorough spring cleaning in your vehicle, you should get it washed and waxed properly. If you don't, the consequences may go beyond its aesthetics. For example, allowing your vehicle to go dirty for a long time can wreak havoc on its components. The dust particles and other filth that accumulate on it can reach its inner systems and make it harder for them to work properly. On the outside, that filth can eat away at the vehicle's paint job and make it look older and unkempt (this can become a problem for when you're tying to put the vehicle up for sale). Plus, having a dirty vehicle can take a toll on your health, on your wallet, on your vehicle's lifespan, and much more. In the end, it is far better to wash and wax your vehicle with regularity.

Replace the Fluids and Filters

Part of keeping your vehicle clean is making sure that the fluids in it (the synthetic oil, the transmission fluid, etc.) are in optimum condition, and that the filters (the air filter, oil filter, etc.) can do a good job at keeping filth away from your vehicle's inner components. Still, time and use render these useless. Moreover, they can get dirty with time and use, too. That's why, part of your spring cleaning process, should include getting these crucial items replaced. This way, you'll be able to ride your vehicle knowing that its components are clean and working efficiently.

Go Through Every Nook and Cranny

If you want to do a good job with your spring cleaning process, you need to be very thorough and go through every nook and cranny in your vehicle until it's left completely spotless. For instance, you need to wash and vacuum your interiors. You should also detail the rims and tires. Likewise, take a wipe and go over the dashboard, the wheel and the other surfaces in the vehicle. Taking these extra steps (even if it means cleaning areas that you think no one will notice) will guarantee that your vehicle is the most clean it can possibly be.

Visit a Professional Mechanic

Lastly, why not end the spring cleaning process with a quick visit to a professional mechanic? The spring months are a good time for a routine inspection as it is a time for rebirth and refreshment. Doing so will let you know if something is off with your vehicle. A professional mechanic will also be able to provide the necessary fine-tunning so that your vehicle will be able to endure the hotter months without much of a problem.
