Vehicle interior cleaning and washing
Vehicle exterior wash
Vehicles are exposed to all kinds of deposits (dust, mud, dead insects, pollen, pollution, etc.). By cleaning them regularly, you protect the materials that make them up against wear and you guarantee safer driving.
If the frequency of washing depends on the use of your vehicle and your geographical location, the areas to be cleaned are always the same. Several choices are available to you and it is not always easy to find your way around. In any case, we advise you to buy a car cleaning product suitable for professionals.
This week we offer you an overview for efficient exterior washing and a healthy and pleasant interior.

Clean them using suitable products so as not to risk attacking or damaging the materials. There are also handy all-in-one cleaners that degrease, remove stains, nourish, protect and shine plastic at the same time.

To reach the dust accumulated in the ventilation grilles and all the corners where the dust can settle (around the gear lever, the handbrake, on the command and control buttons, etc.), use cotton swab, soft toothbrush or soft-bristled paintbrush.
You can also use equally effective natural products (soapy water, hot water and black soap, white vinegar), and finish with olive oil, linseed oil or plastic wax to restore shine to your surfaces.
