Other General Car Maintenance Tips

  • FACE REALITY! That car isn’t going to clean itself, and as much as you’d love to have Cameron Diaz sensually washing your car while dripping water and suds (Watch Bad Teacher), life isn’t a movie. So get a bucket of water, some car cleaning liquid, and keep scrubbing till you see your own reflection.
  • While you’re at it, don’t forget about the interior. This is because if you do tend to have some junk in your trunk like Frank Martin in Transporter 1, who knows — your day might not end up as bad as it may seem.
  • Last but not least, to ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently and at its maximum potential, be sure to visit a trusted mechanic to inspect your car and its performance requirements and issues.
