Spring cleaning is something that happens when it becomes nice outside, as people decide to get rid of whatever clutter might be linger in their lives. Our staff at Century Ford, your Ford dealer in Frederick MD, reminds our customers not to forget their Ford on their to-do list. Automobiles have become such an integral part of our daily lives that we use them as we would one of the favorite rooms in our home, which includes leaving behind trash. That also is not counting the daily wear and tear your Ford experiences from time and the outside elements. Here at Century Ford, your local Ford dealer in MD, we recommend that you take some time to treat your Ford to the full cleaning it deserves and make sure it truly is ready to take you on all of your fun journeys. Call us to schedule a detail which includes — waxing, scrubbing, vacuuming and more. If you think your Ford isn’t quite to that stage of dirtiness yet or if your schedule is way too busy, our team at Century Ford have provided several quick and easy tips on how to get the most out of organizing and cleaning your Ford:
- Be sure to clear out your cup holders and collect any loose items (such as change, chapstick, tissues, etc). Then you can use cupcake liners as a makeshift net for the future.
- Dip your windshield wipers in rubbing alcohol because that can help eliminate any blurry spots or streaking on your windshield.
- Tired of having dirty or dusty car vents? You surprisingly can use a foam art brush to get rid of those cobwebs lingering from winter. A can of compressed air also is useful if you need to really clean them out.
- Using a combination of cleaning powder and water is a great way to restore the shine of your hubcaps. This mixture can be softer on your wheels’ finish than wheel cleaner itself. Ask our staff at Century Ford, your Ford dealer in Frederick MD, about this.
- Using dryer sheets to wipe down the front of your Ford’s grille is quite useful, particularly when you are removing the remains of those insects you’ve run into while on the road.
- Everyone wants their headlights to always be shining bright. You can use a cleanser or even a toothpaste brand that contains baking soda as an ingredient to truly bring back their sparkle.
- Using stain spray on your floor mats and placing them in the wash is a great way to have them looking new again.
- Is your pet a fan of taking car rides, but seems to shed all over the interior of your Ford? We recommend vacuuming or having someone thoroughly vacuum out your Ford. You also can use a spray bottle of water (to loosen up the fur) and a squeegee to get the job done.
- Applying Goo Gone or a similar cleanser along your dashboard will help get rid of persistent stains and general stickiness.
- Your windshield is vitally important, so be sure to give it a good cleaning by using a squeegee, a window cleaner and a finishing coat of Rain X or other windshield treatments.
- There are a lot of crevices and cracks in your Ford that can be hard for you to reach and can quickly fill up with food crumbs or other messes. Place a small rag on the tip of a screwdriver with a flat head and run it through all those tight spaces, to really get them clean.
- Though it’s not a typical place people think of, the ceiling of your Ford can become very dirty. A microfiber cloth will be able to handle the job.
- Corrosion often builds on your battery as time passes. Our staff at Century Ford, your local Ford dealer in MD, recommends periodically checking it and getting rid of any corrosion you find. You can use a cleanser (or even soda in emergency situations) to do so.
- Cleaning the exterior of your Ford with a clay bar not only will get rid of any dirt in its crevices, but it also will preserve your paint job and keep it gleaming like new.
- To really have the leather in your Ford’s interior stand out and look awesome, clean it off with old cleaning toothbrushes and a combination of baking soda and water.
Century Ford hopes you find these tips useful. We also suggest scheduling an appointment with our service department to have your Ford continue performing as amazing as it will look after it is clean. Please contact us with any questions you might have and have a happy spring cleaning!
