How to Spring Clean Your Jeep

Start by giving the exterior of your Jeep a good wash with soap and water. Next, use a soft sponge or mitt, and get into all the nooks and crannies. Don’t forget to clean the wheels and tires as well, as they can get dirty and muddy, especially if you tend to do a lot of off-roading. Then dry off your Jeep with a soft towel to avoid streaks or blotches. Once your Jeep is clean and dry, apply a coat of wax or sealant to protect the paint and give it a nice shine. This step is not completely necessary, but it will help give your Jeep a shine and make it look like new.

Use a glass cleaner to clean the windows inside and out. For tough grime, you can use a clay bar to remove contaminants from the glass if it’s filthy and gunked up. Now it’s time to move on to the interior of your Jeep, which can get particularly nasty after a long winter. Start by removing all the trash and clutter from the interior of your Jeep. Next, vacuum the floors and seats, and wipe down the surfaces with a mild cleaner. Next, don’t forget to clean the dashboard, door panels, and center console. You can even use a cleaner to touch up these items but make sure it’s a cleaner that its a cleaner that is compatible with your vehicle! Next, if your carpets and mats are dirty, give them a deep cleaning with a carpet cleaner. You can also use a steam cleaner for an extra deep clean. After a long winter, your mats most likely have a ton of dirt and grime on them, so this step is crucial.

Spring is an excellent time to check and replace your air filter if necessary. A clean air filter can improve your Jeep’s performance and fuel efficiency. However, if your air filter is in bad shape, our team at Susquehanna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will be more than happy to replace it for you! Also, our team can check the fluid levels in your Jeep, including the oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant, and top them off or replace them if needed. The last thing we recommend is changing your oil, as winter can take its toll on your engine. Oil makes all your engine components run smoothly, so you must get it changed regularly.

There final two things that you should focus on when it comes to your Jeep are the battery and the tires. First, make sure your Jeep’s battery is clean and fully charged. If it’s been a few years, it may be time to replace it, which we can do for you here at Susquehanna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram! Also, if you notice corrosion on your battery’s wires, you can clean them with a wire brush, provided they are not connected to the battery. Next,  turn your attention to the tires! Check the tire pressure and tread depth on all four tires. Ensure the tires are correctly inflated and have enough tread for safe driving. If your tires lack tread depth, they must be replaced by our team here at Susquehanna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram!
