The steps to cleaning your car inside and out are easy as long as you keep up with them on a regular basis. If you let them go for too long it will take longer and be harder. So find a method or system that works best for you. Here are some things to start with.

First of all start by washing the outside of your vehicle with car cleaner and a soft cloth. You should be sure to remove all dirt, sap, and bugs from your car since these things can have a harmful affect on your vehicles paint. You should also dry your vehicle with a soft towel to avoid scratching the paint. This will eliminate water spots which don't look very good. You should then wax your vehicle. It is important to wax your vehicle to keep the paint protected and shiny. If you don't protect the paint it can and will oxidize and look dull. You should also clean the tires and rims so they look clean and shiny like the rest of your vehicle.

To get the inside clean start by removing everything that doesn't belong there like papers, trash, apparel, or whatever else is in your car. Then you should remove and vacuum the floor mats. You will also need to vacuum the seats, carpets and car door upholstery. Be careful not to scratch any leather or vinyl as you vacuum. Then you should clean the inside of your vehicles windows with a mild window cleaner. You will also want to get the inside shiny with armor-all or similar product. This will not only get the inside shiny, but will protect it from cracking as well. Also placing a nice smelling air freshener will help the inside feel cleaner as well.

Remember if you don't have the time to clean your car inside and out you can get it professionally detailed. Professional detailers can get your car looking great on the outside and inside. Make sure you find a qualified detailer that way you get a quality job done on your car. This can sometimes save you time, but will cost you a little more.

It is important to keep your car clean. You will feel better about yourself with a clean car as others notice the pride you take in your possessions. Also it will help preserve the resale or trade in value of your car should you decide to get a new car.

Take pride in yourself and your car. You can start by getting your car to shine inside and out!
