STEP 1
Remove all rubbish from inside your car. This will make it a lot easier to complete the other steps.
STEP 2
Vacuum the car mats, seats and down the sides to remove any dust and grit.
STEP 3
Take a damp cloth and wipe down the dash and controls. TOP TIP: Try using a soft paintbrush to flick dust out of corners.
STEP 4
Using the Ultimate Car Valeting Kit, use the Multi-Purpose Cleaner, a bucket and sponge to clean the outside of your car. Start with the roof and work your way down the sides, front and rear of the car. Rinse off and take a clean dry cloth to soak up the remaining water.
STEP 5
Finally, open all the doors, this will allow you to clean the bits you may have missed. Clean the inside of the sills and door openings. Dry with a new clean dry cloth.
STEP 6
Using the Ultimate Car Valeting Kit, use the Alloy Wheel Cleaner to clean the alloys.
STEP 7
Now’s the time to clean the glass. It’s a good idea to leave this until last because the windows tend to pick up dirt and grime from all the other steps. Using the Ultimate Car Valeting Kit, use the Window & Glass Cleaner. Spray onto the windows and use a clean dry cloth.
STEP 8
To remove any unwanted odours, add a small dusting of Talcum Powder to freshen/eliminate unwanted odours. Leave this on for five minutes then vacuum again.
STEP 9
Using the Ultimate Car Valeting Kit, spray the Citrus Air Freshener from the kit to add a nice smell, making your car feel new again!
STEP 10
Finally, with the weather only getting colder, it is important to make sure you add some more screen wash! Winter weather is frequently wet, this means that you’ll spend a lot of time using your windscreen. Ensure that your car has enough screen wash to make journeys in case needed. The best screen wash to make sure that your windows are clean and streak free is Rubbing Alcohol 70%. For this solution add one gallon of distilled water to a clean, empty container, add one cup of window and glass cleaner and Rubbing Alcohol 70%. Mix well by shaking the container and add the solution to your car.
