Months of bad weather with cold, ice and snow cause high levels of material stress, which can also lead to safety deficiencies in the car. In order to prepare your car for the higher temperatures in spring and to ensure safety, spring cleaning is necessary.
Useful tips
for spring car care
Get your car ready for spring and clean it inside and out.
How do
you wash your car properly after winter?
After the winter months, it makes sense to go to the car wash to wash the front and underbody to remove dirt and salt deposits from the winter. Before you take your car to the car wash, it is best to remove any coarse dirt using a steam jet to avoid paint corrosion.
According to ADAC, it is absolutely important to maintain a distance of at least 30 centimeters from all vehicle parts when using the high-pressure cleaner to avoid damage. Also clean door and window seals of unwanted residue with warm water.

Why is cleaning car windows useful?
As is well known, windows often fog up in winter, which leads to a film of dirt on the inside and outside of the window. Take advantage of spring cleaning and ensure clear vision again with glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth.

The right care for cleaning the
interior
of the car
Of course, the interior of the car should not be left out when cleaning. Clear your car of expired parking tickets and other rubbish, sort out things you no longer need, such as the ice scraper, and get an overview. Upholstery foam products are the ideal solution for light dirt. If the dirt on the car seats is more stubborn, intensive cleaning with a wet vacuum cleaner is recommended. In cars with leather interiors, if the leather is older, it is also worth thoroughly caring for the car seats with a special leather care product.
Danger:
Car care at home is permitted, but only on your own property; road traffic is excluded here. Chemical cleaners are also prohibited as they could end up in the groundwater.
Interior cleaning set
for dirty upholstery
The unique formula of the cleaner deeply dissolves stubborn dirt and leaves no chance for dust, dirt and grease. Simply moisten the dirty area slightly, rub it with the upholstery foam and then wipe it up with the microfiber cloth.
