To clean the interior, vacuum your carpets and seats, and wipe down hard surfaces. You want to get rid of trash and any remnants of food crumbs. Animals will be looking for food and shelter during cold months.
Tip #2 Stop at the Gas Station Beforehand
This tip is preserve your car’s smooth functioning. When you fill your gas tank, there is no room for additional moisture to form. When moisture builds up, it can cause your vehicle to accelerate poorly.
