Tips To Maintain A Luxury Car:

These tips will help you take care of your luxury car better.

Use a portable vacuum cleaner to keep the seats clean: Using a portable car vacuum cleaner is a much better idea than using any other methods for cleaning your car seats. A car vacuum cleaner has special attachments meant for reaching the nooks and crannies located out of reach for a human. Clean the interiors of your car frequently especially if you have kids or pets in the family.
Buff a layer of car polish after a wash: Car polish adds an excellent layer of shine to a luxury car. Begin the process by washing the car with car soap or regular shampoo. Start with the tires and work your way up. Rinse in the opposite direction i.e. start rinsing at the top and end with the tiers. You need to keep the exterior dry or damp depending upon the wax or polish being used. You will end up with a superior glassy car paint finish if this process is done properly.
Change the air filter when the air does not feel pleasant anymore: The maintenance or servicing schedule of the car will take care of replacing things like cabin air filters, coolants, oils, etc. However, if you specifically feel that the cabin air smells stale or unpleasant in any way, you need to change the air filter. Either seek professional help or change it by yourself. The steps are quite simple.
Keep your car covered when not in use: The charm of having a luxury car lies in two things – aesthetics and driving experience. Since the later will depend upon the car model you buy, taking care of the looks is in your hands. Always protect the car with at least a car cover to avoid stray animals sitting on the hood, bird droppings, etc. from damaging the aesthetics of your four-wheeler.
Always keep a clean microfiber cloth in your car: This will be helpful in instantly cleaning things inside your car. A microfiber cloth will also come in handy while cleaning the dashboard.
