Keeping Your Car Clean

One of the best ways to protect your car and its paint is to clean it regularly. Dust build up is rusts best friend, and when you mix constant dirt, water, and heat the results can be bad.

It's not just the outside that deserves a good cleaning, but the inside too. Let's face it, we're all a bit lazy and that's probably why some of our cars look the way they do.

So to keep your car looking new we have some awesome tips from Jalopnik and don't worry... these work well even for the lazy.
