Routinely detailing your vehicle is a good way to help preserve the value of your INFINITI. From polishing the wheels to dusting the interior, thoroughly cleaning your car can identify wear and tear spots or other damage that can be repaired at your INFINITI dealership the next time you visit for regular maintenance.
Keeping Your INFINITI Car or SUV Pristine: Detailing Tips
Capturing that dealership showroom shine is all about cleaning your vehicle in the right order and using the specific cleaning tools or materials for each part of your car. Consider starting by cleaning the interior before the exterior, and be sure to finish all of your detailing work by applying the appropriate waxes and polishes to seal your hard work.
Interior Cleaning
First, you will want to vacuum all the flooring and upholstery in your vehicle. If you have fabric seats, you can start by vacuuming the seats, between seats, and under seats. You should remove floor mats to vacuum the carpet and cargo area. If you have fabric floor mats, these should be vacuumed and shampooed; all-weather floor mats can be hosed down and dried with a cloth.
Next, you will want to dust all the spots of your cabin. For leather-trimmed dashboards and steering wheels, it’s best to use cleaners developed for leather since many of these cleaners also have hydrating agents to help keep leather in great shape. You should also clean the inside of the windshield and remove visible dust from air vents.
Exterior Cleaning
When you clean the exterior of your INFINITI, you should start at the top and work your way down. You should use cleaning formula developed for cleaning car paint and removing grease from wheels, since regular soap may harm the protective coat on your car paint. It’s also a good idea to use a microfiber cloth for scrubbing stubborn dirt and drying your car. If you have a hose, use gentle mist or shower settings to spray off your car.
After you have cleaned and dried your car, you can use a wax seal or polish on your paint. Waxing your car can help protect your paint from water spots, stains from road debris, and tree sap. If you aren’t sure what wax is best for your paint job, you can ask your dealership for recommendations.
Is There a Best Time for Cleaning Your Car?
In general, you should clean your car about once a month to maintain its pristine appearance. It’s also a good idea to thoroughly clean your vehicle in early spring and schedule service so your local dealership can check under your car for damage after driving on winter roads.
