Preparing your car for fall involves both cleaning and some auto maintenance to ensure it’s ready for cooler weather. Here are some tips to get your car ready:

Exterior Cleaning

1. Wash and Seal: Start with a thorough wash to remove summer grime. With our MVP wash package we utilize Ceramic X3 to apply a hydrophobic seal to provide a longer lasting shine. Alternatively, our Elite wash package utilizes our Hot Lava Wax Protection, creating a barrier to protect your car’s paint. 
2. Clean Windows and Mirrors: Use our cleaning solution to make sure your windows and mirrors are clear. This helps with visibility as the days get shorter.
3. Remove Debris: Clean out any leaves or twigs from around the windshield wipers and under the hood. 

Interior Cleaning

1. Vacuum Thoroughly: Vacuum seats, carpets, and floor mats. Pay special attention to crumbs and dirt that can accumulate.
2. Clean Upholstery: Depending on the material, use a microfiber towel for cloth seats or our cleaning solution for leather seats. Be sure to ask about our car mat washing and vacuuming!
3. Wipe Down Surfaces: Use our cleaning solution for your dashboard, steering wheel, and other high-touch surfaces to remove dust and dirt.

Auto Maintenance Outside of the Wash

1. Check Fluids: Top off or replace fluids like windshield washer fluid, which is especially important in fall when rain can obscure visibility.
2. Inspect Tires: Check tire pressure and tread. Consider switching to winter tires if you live in an area with harsh winters.
3. Check Lights: Make sure all lights are working, including headlights, brake lights, and turn signals, as the days get shorter.
4. Test Battery: Cold weather can affect battery performance, so have it tested to avoid potential issues.
5. Replace Cabin Air Filter: A clean cabin air filter ensures that you get fresh air inside the car and can help reduce allergens.

Extra Tips

1. Prepare for Emergencies: Keep an emergency kit in your car with essentials like a blanket, flashlight, and first aid supplies in case you face unexpected conditions.
2. Organize Your Trunk: Remove any unnecessary items from the trunk and make sure you have emergency supplies like a spare tire, jack, and jumper cables.

Getting these tasks done now can help ensure that your car remains in good condition throughout the fall and into the winter.
