Spring recently arrived in Cincinnati, which means now is the right time to refresh your vehicle. Detailing your car, truck, or SUV is a great way to remove built-up grime and prep your ride for warm-weather road trips. The service technicians at Jeff Wyler Kia of Colerain in Cincinnati are experts at making cars look like new, but there are also some spring cleaning tasks you can tackle at your home.

Start by vacuuming up any crumbs, dirt, and debris from your car's seats, floors, and upholstery. Wipe across the dashboard, steering wheel, and other surfaces with a soft cloth and an interior cleaner. Roll down the windows and clean them inside and out. Don't forget to clean out the door jambs and trunk as well.

The winter months can really do a number on your car's exterior. We advise you to wash it from top to bottom. Be sure to use the right cleaners and brushes for the different materials. Use a clay bar and polish any paint to remove contaminants and make it shine. Clean the wheels, wheel wells, and underside, and then wax your car to protect the paint. Replace worn windshield wipers and fill up any fluids that are low before hitting the road to Florence.

Sanitize frequently touched surfaces like the steering wheel, gear shift, buttons, and door handles to protect against germs. You can use disinfecting wipes or a spray cleaner. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it away.

Lift the hood and inspect the engine bay. Look for any leaks, damage, or dirt buildup. Wipe down any accessible surfaces. Checking vital engine fluids like oil, transmission fluid, and coolant will let you know if you need a top-off. Replace the engine air filter if it's dirty. A tune-up service can take care of spark plugs, wires, and more so you can travel confidently around Fairfield this spring.

Check tire pressure and tread depth. Proper inflation promotes better gas mileage and extends the life of your tires. Uneven wear indicates alignment issues. Rotate and balance them if needed. Also, examine brake pads and rotors. Schedule service at our dealership near Harrison if they are getting low.
