Cleaning Cars

You should have your car washed every few days. Hose off Loose dirt first. Then use a sponge to wash the surface with a sudsy solution of water and a detergent made for car washing. (Don't use household detergents; they may be too harsh and can leave marks on a car's paint-finish.) Rinse the car, working from the roof down.

Moisten a rag or sponge with rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits to wipe away any windshield spots that resist store-bought window cleaners. If the wipers are smearing the windshield, clean them, as well as the windshield, with rubbing alcohol, If this doesn't work, scrub the windshield with vinegar to remove possible stubbom stains.

 Sponge the inside of windows too with vinegar to remove haze from plastic fumes in a new car. Rinse with water and wipe them dry.

 Black shoe polish may be used to give tyre walls a rich finish.
