Keep the Interior of Your Cadillac Looking New

Top 6 Ways to Keep the Interior of Your Cadillac Looking Like New

There's nothing worse than a brand-new car turning into a dirty, junky mess. A problem that can make your car go from classy to trashy pretty quickly. Say you buy the latest Cadillac that has:

• A spacious interior
• High-quality materials
• A smooth, quiet ride
• Impressive high-tech features

But if you don't maintain your Cadillac, it will suffer from more wear and tear, dirt and stains, and a much lower resale value down the road. If you're looking for some tips to help keep your car's interior clean and sparkling like new, check out the list below.

1. Wipe Down Surfaces

Using a microfiber cloth, wipe down all surfaces inside your car's interior – dashboard, side panels, controls, seats (vinyl or leather), etc. This will help remove dust and dirt that quickly collects from day to day.

2. Clean Carpets

One of the simplest ways to make the interior of your car feel like it's fresh off the dealership lot is by cleaning the carpets. Vacuuming is the first step and can make a world of different in making your car feel spic and span, but it's also a good idea to clean any stains that have surfaced too. This can be done with a microfiber cloth and stain remover.

3. Clean Cup Holders

You may think your car's carpets are the dirtiest part of your car, but have you looked in your cup holders? When you do, you'll see that they may actually top the unclean list. Just imagine how many drinks and over-the-lid spills your cup holders have endured. From coffee and tea to juice and soda, your cup holders definitely have a dirty job. So give them some well-deserved attention. Using water or a cleaning solution of your choice, dip a Q-tip, or other useful cleaning tool, and scrub around the interior of your cup holders until all the sticky grime is gone. Once clean and dry, use ceramic car coasters to protect them from spills and icky buildup.

4. Remove Items Daily

An excellent rule to follow when owning a car is this: take an item along for a ride, take it out when you get back home. It may seem like a pain at times, but this is the ultimate way to stop a mess before it happens.

5. Keep a Trash Can Handy

From cups and papers to fast food wrappers, the amount of trash your car can collect can be quite unbelievable. The best way to avoid this is by keeping a trash can (or trash bag) handy inside your car. That way, the next time you think about throwing trash onto the floorboards, you will have a designated, contained spot to throw it away.

6. Keep Food Contained

If you eat inside your car, there is bound to be a lost cracker or french fry every now and then that falls between or under the seats. Not to mention lots of crumbs! This is especially true if you have little passengers that aren't the best at keeping things mess-free. To help combat this problem, buy a cheap sectioned art caddy to keep in your car for impromptu meals. This will help ensure food is contained in one easy-to-clean spot verses all over the seats and floorboards.
