The good news: ten minutes a week is enough to keep it looking cared for until your next visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inside the car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep a small bin bag in the door pocket<\/strong> and empty it whenever you fill up with fuel.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Shake out the floor mats<\/strong> once a week. Rubber mats in winter save the carpets from salt and mud.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Wipe the touch points<\/strong> (steering wheel, gear lever, door handles, screens) with a soft microfibre cloth and an interior cleaner made for cars.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Use a seat cover or blanket for pets<\/strong>. Hair woven into fabric is the hardest thing to remove later.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Deal with spills straight away<\/strong>: blot, do not rub, and let the area dry with the windows slightly open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On the outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove bird droppings, tree sap and bug splatter as soon as you can. Left in the sun, they can mark the clear coat.<\/li>\n\n<li>Rinse off road salt after winter drives, paying attention to the wheel arches and sills.<\/li>\n\n<li>Wash gently every one to two weeks with a pH-neutral shampoo, a soft mitt and two buckets, rather than a brush car wash.<\/li>\n\n<li>Dry with a clean, soft microfibre towel to avoid water spots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep a mini kit in the boot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spare microfibre cloth, a small bottle of quick detailer or waterless wash, and a pack of interior wipes made for cars cover most surprises. Store them in a box so nothing rolls around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the car needs more than a quick tidy, book a maintenance wash or an interior detail and let a detailer reset it properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few small habits keep the cabin tidy and the paint looking fresh for weeks after a professional detail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":22,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8\/revisions\/41"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-shinex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
