Your imported car has arrived safely at port, but it looks like a dust storm happened overnight and your vehicle now badly needs a carwash. Used cars from Japan may encounter air and dust pollution on their way to Africa. As a new owner, you now have the responsibility of cleaning and taking care of your vehicle. As soon as you take it home, you have to wash off the dirt and grime it accumulated during transportation. A proper carwash will bring out the natural gleam and shine of the car, making it look absolutely new. Inside out Clean the interiors first; it will make cleaning the rest of your auto easier. Start with vacuuming the seats and removing the floor mats. Wash the mats and as you wait for them to dry off, vacuum the carpets. Use a feather duster to clean out the rear window shelf, dashboard, and other surfaces. Clean the air conditioning vents by using a toothbrush or cotton swabs. You may see specks of dust on and around the instrument panel and entertainment system; clean those carefully with a glass or plastic cleaner and microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the glass pane or damaging electronic surfaces. Work on your tires tirelessly Used cars from Japan may have tires that need to be replaced, so check those first. When you have the proper tires on, the best tip for cleaning them is to use non-acid-based tire cleaners. Don’t use acid-based because these will oxidize alloy wheels and surely damage wheels that have been painted with clear or black coating. Degrease your wheels but stay away from detergents which could damage body paint. Use your hands! Hand-washing your car is the best way to clean surfaces and it also allows you to get to know the nooks and crannies of your car well. Smooth your hand over the surface of your car to inspect it so you’ll know which parts to clean thoroughly. Avoid using detergent which could damage protective wax coatings and consequently expose your auto to stains and scratches. A specially-formulated car shampoo will get your car clean without stripping away the wax. After hand-washing, dry your vehicle using a rubber squeegee to completely remove moisture. Damp towels may leave watermarks. Wax on, wax off Your exporter may already have put some wax over your car before it was shipped over to you (used cars from Japan are well-maintained both inside and out), but wax does wear off over time. If you think you have to reapply wax to protect your vehicle’s body paint, you may use either paste or liquid wax. Make sure you cover the entire surface, especially the roof. Make that glass gleam The last things to clean are the glass windows and mirrors. Glass cleaners without ammonia work best. Use a microfiber cloth to buff both the interior and exterior surfaces of windows for that new and shiny look! Used cars from Japan are extremely easy to maintain and they will serve you well for many years—you just have to do your part in taking care of them too, so wash up!
