Campaign Flights

As the last remnants of winter melt away, it’s time to give your car the fresh start it deserves. Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home; your vehicle needs some TLC too! After months of facing harsh winter conditions, a thorough clean can protect your investment, enhance its appearance, and improve your driving experience. Fast & Friendly Express Car Wash is here to guide you through the process with tips on both interior and exterior cleaning.

Interior Cleaning: Bringing the Freshness Inside

1. Start with a Declutter: Remove all trash, personal items, and anything that doesn’t belong in the car. Check under seats, in pockets, and anywhere else things might hide.
2. Vacuum Everywhere: Utilize Fast & Friendly’s free vacuums to get rid of dirt, sand, and salt from the floor mats, upholstery, and trunk. Don’t forget hard-to-reach areas like under the seats and around the pedals.
3. Clean the Surfaces: Use appropriate cleaners for different surfaces. A mild soap solution works well for most dashboard and console areas, while special leather or upholstery cleaners will take care of your seats. Remember, the goal is not just cleanliness but also maintaining the condition of each material.
4. Windows and Mirrors: Clean all glass surfaces inside and out to ensure maximum visibility and a sparkling finish. Use a glass cleaner for a streak-free shine.
5. Refresh the Air: Replace your cabin air filter if necessary and consider a natural air freshener to keep your car smelling fresh.

Exterior Cleaning: Shedding the Winter Coat

1. Pre-Rinse: Start by rinsing your car to loosen and remove as much dirt and grime as possible. Fast & Friendly’s express wash is perfect for this initial step, efficiently removing the residues of winter.
2. Wash with Care: Use a high-quality, soft wash mitt and a car wash soap to gently cleanse your vehicle’s surface. Avoid dish soap as it can strip protective waxes and sealants.
3. Pay Attention to the Undercarriage: Salt and road grime accumulate underneath your car during winter. Fast & Friendly’s wash options include undercarriage cleaning to ensure no area is overlooked.
4. Wheels and Tires: These take a beating during winter. Clean them with a brush and wheel cleaner to remove brake dust and road salts that can eat away at the finish.
5. Wax On, Wax Off: Protect your car’s paint with a quality wax or sealant. This not only brings out the shine but also provides a protective layer against spring rain and pollen.
6. Windows and Lights: Ensure your windows and lights are clean and clear. This enhances both your car’s appearance and safety.

Final Touches:

• Check your tire pressure, including the spare. Fast & Friendly offers free tire air, ensuring your wheels are road-ready and efficient.
• Replace your windshield wipers if they’ve been worn out by winter ice and debris.
• Consider a professional inspection to check fluids, brakes, and other systems that may have been impacted by cold temperatures.
