Press Release Body = The over all value of a vehicle can ultimately be controlled by
the appearance and condition of the vehicle's exterior and interior. One main goal
that many car care enthusiasts share is protecting their investment by keeping their
cars looking new through regular care and detailing.

Basic car care starts with a good basic wash. This wash should include washing the
wheels, tires, wheel wells, exterior paint, windows, and vacuuming the interior. A
car should be washed whenever a wash is needed. Generally this is about once every
two weeks. Once a car has had a complete detail the basic wash should be routine
and thorough enough to where the car is kept to the detailed condition.

When washing a car's painted finish never use dish soap, always use soap made for
automotive use. Dish soaps contain harsh elements that strip all protective coating
from the finish, leaving the paint dry and open to all types of contaminants.
Proper wheel cleaners must also be used when washing a car's wheels, especially
after market wheels. Using a cleaner to strong for a particular finish will leave
the finish dull, spotted or discolored.

It is common for most car owners to neglect their car's interior. A vehicle should
be vacuumed as many times as exterior is washed. Soils or dirt embedded in the
carpet and upholstery are very hard to see and will deteriorate the condition and
life of the material. Spraying carpets and upholstery with a foam cleaner before
vacuuming is a great way to remove light stains and embedded soils.

Having streak free windows is a matter of patience and a good streak proof window
cleaner. Use two towels when cleaning windows. Spray the streak proof window
cleaner on the glass, then wipe with one towel and use the other to polish off the
streaks and residue.
