Spring is the perfect time to give your car a fresh start. Just like you would spring clean your home, your car also deserves attention after months of daily use. A clean and well-maintained vehicle not only looks good but also improves comfort, safety, and resale value. Here are some practical car care tips to get your vehicle spring-ready.
Clear out any unnecessary items from the cabin and boot. Removing clutter like old receipts, bottles, or sports gear reduces weight and frees up valuable space. Keep only essentials such as a first-aid kit, tyre tools, and emergency supplies.
Vacuum the seats, carpets, and hard-to-reach areas to eliminate dust and debris. Use a microfibre cloth to wipe dashboards and door panels. For a clever detailing trick, a soft paintbrush works perfectly to clean out vents and tight corners.
Replace your car’s pollen filter to improve air quality — especially useful during allergy season. For an easy DIY air freshener, add a few drops of essential oil to a cotton ball and place it under the seat.
Wash the body thoroughly, including the undercarriage where dirt builds up. Apply a coat of wax to protect your paintwork and give it a showroom shine. Clean the windows inside and out to enhance visibility.
Spring is also a good time to check tyre pressure, tread depth, and alignment. Clean rims and polish headlights for a crisp finish.
Give your car the fresh start it deserves. For professional detailing, seasonal checks, or tyre services, visit your nearest Westvaal dealership and keep your vehicle looking and performing its best.
