Depending upon where you are, spring is either on the way or has just arrived!  A time when a car lovers thoughts turn to cleaning their four wheel heart throb.  There is an old saying that a clean car runs better...while this may not be exactly true, you feel better about your car when it's clean.

I know this sounds easy enough, but many of us need a little guidance when it comes to this chore.  There are a couple of tips that are important to keep in mind.  First is to rinse the entire car off before washing.  This will remove any large particles that can scratch the paint when you begin washing.  The second is to use a good quality car wash, never use household cleaning products!

I have included a brief video from our partners at Meguiar's that demonstrates proper car washing techniques.
