You recently purchased the car of your dreams, you can barely sleep with how excited you are for the morning sun to shine through just so you can run to your driveway and hear the beautiful sound of your engine roaring; it’s music to your ears.  But, it’s not only the sound of the engine that you look forward to everyday, it’s that new car smell you love and strongly wish will never fade.

As spring vastly approaches (I am still unsure if it is permanently here yet!) the team at Drive Me Barcelona, who own luxury supercars, have put together their top five spring cleaning secrets to ensure your car looks, feels and smells like it did that very first time you drove it.  Their motto is, when the F1 goes Down Under then so should you, just under your car instead!

 

Give your car some TLC this spring by following the secrets they personally use to keep their 12 Luxury Supercars in mint condition.

 

1. Cleaning & Clearing out Old Headlights

Clearing up old hazy headlights is extremely affordable. By simply rubbing toothpaste on your headlights using a cloth or an old toothbrush can help polish and refine the look of your lights instantly. The tutorial down below explains the step by step process. Yes, it is that easy!

 

2. Get rid of Tough Dirt Stains

To get rid of those tough dirt stains on the body of your vehicle you will need a grease cutter, a cloth and an all-purpose glass cleaner.  Pour a spoonful of grease cutter onto an old cloth and gently polish the area where the dirt spot is, after this step is completed spray the all-purpose glass cleaner on the surface of the car and using a clean cloth gently polish until the stain is fully removed.

 

3. Removing Stains on Car Upholstery

Mix together ¼ cup of baking soda and 1 cup of warm water into a spray bottle.  Shake the mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes. Using an old toothbrush apply the solution to the upholstery and leave the solution for a further 30 minutes. This homemade cleaning solution is perfect for removing stubborn food and liquid upholstery stains.

 

4. Brighten the Colour of your Carpets

Wear and tear is inevitable, but by simply mixing clear ammonia and water into a small container can help restore the colour of your car carpets. This simple cleaning solution is an easy and highly affordable alternative to other great carpet cleaning products currently on the market.

 

5. Eco-friendly Interior and Exterior Products

Our favourite and most regularly used on their Luxury Supercars are the Eco-system Car products. They offer a wide variety of sprays, waxes, and shampoos for all of your interior and exterior needs. They are 100% environmentally friendly (which I love) and are highly effective. The Eco-System Product line is their go to company for all of their tough cleaning needs. They believe in the eco-friendly initiative so much that they have partnered up with Eco-System Car and have developed a Drive Me Barcelona product range that truly embodies the full Luxury brand identity. You do not have to own a Luxury Supercar to look after it properly.

 

 

The team at Drive Me Barcelona uses these techniques regularly in order to keep their luxury supercars fleet looking brand new for their clients. What a better way to experience the beautiful city of Barcelona than in a spotless Luxury Supercar!
