Cleaning your car

Hooray! You've bought the car and enjoyed the drive home in the pristine specimen. You've been away for the weekend, commuted to work in it and visited your friends and family who live miles away. Thanks to Hon Car you picked a fantastic model with low mileage and fuel expenditure, which looks beautiful and drives smoothly. After a while you realise the new car smell has evaporated, the car seats are dirty with half eaten packets of crisps the kids didn't finish eating and the dirty puddle you parked in yesterday has left mud across the wheels. You need to invest in some quality cleaning products to buff up that bonnet and spring clean that dashboard. Try using speciality formulated wash for the outside of the car that will clear away all the nasty marks that have accumulated over your pride and joy. Use window cleaner and leather spray to clean windows and pop some air freshener in. If you want a professional clean, head to a car wash that will clean the wheels with a hard jet of water and wax the bonnet to a sparkling extravaganza. After all the time you spent hunting for your car it's only right that you spend half an hour cleaning it. Treat your car with the respect it, change its oil regularly and get it serviced in a timely fashion so that you can encourage better performance and drive it in style.

A word from Hom Car founder Dave Waikiki:

"Buying a car is a massive purchase and requires plenty of forethought and research. When I wanted to buy my first car a few years ago I found that there was no support out there for someone who wanted a few basic facts about cars and their capabilities.

I saw a gap in the market and realised I had the chance to create a site that had all the answers to the questions a first-time buyer might be harbouring. I try to add to the site continuously with fresh information and a new take on the happenings in the car industry. Many have told me the facts on the site pages have helped them considerably and I hope they do the same for you."
