Of course you don’t have to be a genius to know this but additional tips are surely useful to those who wanted to find ways how to keep anything at ease including me. You also know that a vacuum has a crevice attachment and a dust brush attach to it; if your vacuum missed any of this part then you need to replace it.

Moreover, the crevice should be made from plastic or that it doesn’t have any damage on its tips otherwise it will scratch or wound your vehicles metal panels as well as your leather and vinyl upholstery. It also recommended that the vacuum you will use in your car has a long and small crevice since it will be more effective when reaching deep consoles, under seats, seams, crannies and nooks including the areas around the seat beads.

When reaching behind the pedals and other tight or deep areas, a nice fitting crevice will help you clean it. You may also need a brush to use before and after you vacuum especially on your carpets. Here is one give away tip in vacuuming your carpet, beat your carpet or lift the section where you will point your vacuum hose or crevice. This way, the dirt accumulated in the thrust of the carpet will fall down or would come loose.

 Proper Way to Vacuum:

• The proper way to vacuum you car’s interior is to know where to start. This way, you will not repeat the process again and again. Start from the rear upholstery and carpet by pushing the front seats forward. With the crevice, vacuum the cracks and in between spaces of the seats and carpet areas. You have to use the dust brush for the door panels since vacuuming it will not enough. After brushing it, vacuum it again to ensure all dust and dirt are removed.
• You have to pull out your floor mats and liners before you vacuum the inside of your car since this is typically made from rubber. Rubber and vacuum don’t go together. Floor mats and liners should be washed or brushed off when cleaning although you could vacuum it as well using a 4 inches crevice.
• After vacuuming the rear section, push the seats back on its proper arrangement or you could also push it backward on the rear‘s direction. Like the way you vacuumed in the back, do it as well on the front section targeting the areas and crack of the seats and the surface behind the carpeted areas and seats. Vacuum the gas and brake pedals including the gear shifts and dashboards. Use brush when vacuuming console, door panels and vents to loose all the dirt accumulation.
• For the fabric upholstery, use the round brush attachment also when vacuuming it, but make sure to be gentle and not to rub it off heavily, you can would or destroy the fiber on your fabric upholstery.

Using a vacuum properly will make cleaning your car’s interior and upholstery easier and faster. If you follow this proper way to vacuum your car, it will make your cleaning double easier and faster!

Wait for my next post about detailing your car’s upholstery be it a vinyl, leather or even fabric. Like me, I; sure you always want your car especially its interior to be always looking new and smelling fresh. Who doesn’t anyways, right? Good Day!

So, when is the perfect time to clean your car’s interior? Let me help you to determine a systematic way of cleaning your car’s interior from a weekly to a monthly routine. There are also parts in your interior that only demands at least four times a year to be cleaned. Knowing this method, you will surely save yourself from overdoing it.

For a Weekly Routine

You will just need a damp cloth or a micro fiber towel to clean you car’s interior, Washing would be just enough to keep your car clean on a weekly basis. This is to prevent dirt and dust accumulation that if not controlled would lead to bigger problem of cleaning your car.

Here are the things you can do to in cleaning your car weekly:

• Wipe all your vinyl and upholstery except the fabric ones with a damp cloth or using a micro fiber towel. Micro fiber towel is more effective in wiping off dirt and dust fast.
• Wash your floor mats like an ordinary laundry by pulling it out and brushing and hosing off the dirt.
• Wipe your door handles, jambs and sills with damp towel as well. Include your window switches or handles.
• Be sure to pick up all trashes and dirt on your vehicle especially in the back seat where you consider sometimes as your large waste basket. Paper, peels, candy wrappers or any thrash you happen to throw inside your car.
• Wipe your window glass, mirrors, windshield, door glass and rear window glass with damp towel as well. But make sure that it will not leave any splotches of water residues on the glass. You may need a dry cloth to avoid this.

***If you take at least five minutes out of your time to do this weekly routine, cleaning the full interior of your car on a monthly or quarterly basis will be less daunting and bickering.

For a Monthly Routine

Your may need vacuum and towel during a monthly routine of detailing your car. This is basically a follow to your weekly routine. On the other hand, if your periodically had the time to do the weekly routine for cleaning your car’s interior, you can skip doing this monthly routine aside from vacuuming the carpets and seats.

Here are the things you can do to in cleaning your car monthly:

• Provided that you maintain the weekly routine, you don’t have to wash your upholsteries and glasses of your car. You can directly grab your vacuum and vacuum the dirt off your interior carpets and console. Vacuuming is very effective way to completely get rid of any dust and dirt on your car.
•  Applying any car protectants should also be done monthly. This way, you will continuously protect your car and at the same time protecting from early wear and fades. If you do this on a weekly basis, it will also fade your car’s upholstery especially the vinyl and leather. Apply protectants on areas that is most exposed to sun. UV rays radically damage your car’s surface including your car’s interior.

 
For a Car Detailing Routine (Every 4 months is recommended)

You may need to visit your local auto shop and car wash to do this. There are also car detailing professionals that are experts in detailing cars. But you can also do it by yourself provided that the stains over your carpets and upholsteries are easy to remove otherwise you really need someone to do it. This time, you have to clean your seals, trunks, cargo areas as well as your other accessories like seatbelts and consoled. During this routine, you also have to get your dashboard detailed.

TIPS on Keeping Your Car’s Resale Value

These tips are best if you haven’t yet got a car or you are still in the process of buying a new car for investment. Although if you have already one, you can still follow some of the tips I will provide to maintain the high value of your car.

1. When buying a car choose standard colors. Standard colors are the set of colors leaves a classic and conventional car color. You may think that these colors are the basic colors but in reality, these are the colors most buyers wanted to buy and that it is always in style no matter what. These are best seller colors that are still hot in the market although its ubiquity is actual but still preferred by most. These are the colors black, white and red. Can you have an easy time selling a pink or violet car? Now this is what I’m telling about. So if your car’s paint is more on the extreme side like a fuchsia or beige, invest on new car paint now if you’re planning to sell your car.
2. Prevention is always better than cure. This is applicable with this second tip. Maintain a routine inspection and maintenance of your car. The earlier it is inspected for any damage the earlier it is prevented to cause further damage and problems as well. Regular service check will prevent any severe damage on your vehicle that will cause it to breakdown.
3. Hydrate your car always. As I mentioned in my previous post, always keep your car’s fluid level up. Oil, fuel, coolant, refrigerant and other type of fluids used in car’s performance and functions should always be filled. Car runs smoothly with fluids. Always follow the recommended oil change every 3000 miles or every couple of months whichever comes first.
4. Do necessary repairs over damaged vehicle parts. If you have just recently encountered or get involved in an accident, fix any damage immediately. This will bring bad impact over your reputation as a seller and it will drop a large bracket on your car’s resale value.
5. Don’t abuse your car with high mileage. Logically, higher mileage over your car’s gauge means a higher wear and tear on its vehicle parts especially on tires and engine
6. Remember that rust is your vehicle’s number one enemy. Applying rust protectants is your best remedy to prevent any early rust tendencies.
7. Include cleaning in your routine maintenance. Avoid dirt accumulation on your carpets, seats and liners. Regular washing and having it vacuumed are two of the simplest way to maintain cleanliness inside your car. As for the exterior, focus your cleaning on your wheels, the trims especially. Accumulated dirt over your wheel trims can leave a disgusting appeal on your car. This dirt will also scratch your expensive wheel alloys so better clean it regularly.
8. Floor liners, cargo liners and floor mats are not just pieces of styling accessories. If put into good use, this car accessories will protect you car to the most from marring, dents, scratches, mud and spills.
9. Invest on a safe car garage or parking area. It will be very unfortunate if you damage your car while you are confident with how you store your car. Or, if you don’t have a proper garage for your car, you will eventually find your car’s paint faded and damage due to weather condition of rain, sun and snow. Plus the possibility of thief, burglars and other accidents of damage if you park your cars unguarded outside your house.

That’s it. I hope you learned something new with these tips

Here is my follow-up and part II post of my blog entry “Keeping Your Car’s Resale Value”.

8 EASY AND SIMPLE WAYS TO MAINTAIN YOUR CAR’S VALUE

1. Don’t abuse your car. This could be done by avoiding driving your car in excessive miles. The potential depreciation value of your vehicle could be directly influence by the high mileage it had undergone.
2. Keep away from rust. Rust is the number one cause of corrosion and damage on your vehicle leaving an unappealing and awful sight on your car. Since your vehicle body frames is made and molded from metal, it is wise to get rust coating and applying it over should be done regularly. As I mentioned, if you live in a place where cold climate and winters is natural be sure to wash and remove the road salt deposits on its body especially the wheel rims and underbody to prevent early rust tendencies. Target the vehicle parts that are prone to accumulate moisture, salt build-up and water such as the fenders and panels.
3. Maintain a clean and proper garage for your vehicle. Two abrasive elements, the Sun and the cold weather. These two elements are your valid and enough reason to keep a good garage for your vehicle. Extreme sunlight can fade away your vehicle’s paint and surface while extreme cold climate can have direct assault on your internal components on your vehicle’s engine like the air and fuel filter.
4. Clean your car often. By often, it means you have a regular routine for it. A periodic range of having your car completely detailed will preserve the quality of your car, not only on its exterior but its interior as well.
5. Your car is neither your kitchen nor your dining area. Eating inside your car is one of the top reasons why your car’s interior shows early sign of damage. Accidental spills will lead to floor panel corrosions as well as stain over your carpets, seats and dashboards. Avoid smoking inside your car as well.
6. Keep a friendly semblance too your service mechanic. Well not in exaggerated way, but you must frequent your vehicle with shop visits for routine inspection. You must keep your records of maintenance or repairs if it has since buyers ask this to owners or sellers first. Also, nothing beats the maintenance or repair that is done by professional or experts so do-yourself-jobs is not reliable and practical at all times.
7. Keep away from any modification that will damage your car. As you decide over a modification, make sure that it will not sacrifice any of your vehicle parts or cause damage to any of it like paint chirps and scratches or altered the original specification of your car. Alteration sometimes decreases the cars value even if you have done it to upgrade.
8. Don’t let wear and tear pass your car! If any of your car parts need replacement already, get one immediately. Or else, that component may extend further damage to its adjacent component. Say for example you have a rusty header panel, be sure to replace it or its rust will eats up its parts connected to it like then bumpers or the headlight casing.

Easy ways, isn’t it? If you religiously follow this and keep this in mind, you will never have the difficulty to maintain the pristine value of your car. This way, you will keep a hold and control over its depreciation value or appreciation value if yours is a classic car.

For my next post, I will share with you tips on how to maintain your car’s value. Good Day Everyone!

If you keep at least a little space in your mind that you are going to sell your car in the future better remember that most often, buyers are pays more for a car that has a full set and complete line of maintenance records. After all, it is what the buyer will ask of your first. As I mentioned in my previous post, asking for the vehicle’s history of maintenance and problems should be your number one question to prioritize. On the other way around, if you would like to have no sweat in making a deal for your car, maintaining its resale is must.

So start taking extra good care of your vehicle. Maintenance of its engine performance and those components that are not easy to be and get replacement should be where you should focus more. Put on the last of your list the components that have less expensive replacement or that it is easy to be reinstalled and will not affect much the value of your car like door handles and mirrors.

Remember also that car maintenance varies depending on several factors. If you are leaving in a coastal area where early rusting tendencies is possible, then it is just appropriate to give your vehicle a double maintenance routine than living elsewhere. Take note also of the weather pattern your place has, it is a more snowy part of the country? If yes, you better install or pre-coat your vehicle and its component with rust-proofing or protectant.

To put it a manner of list, here are some question that will affect your car’s routine maintenance or that on its car value.

1. Your Place. As I mentioned, the place where you live matters.
2. Demand for your Car. In this where the principle of economics enters, as the supply is greater the demand is lesser. Say, there are lots of this particular make and model as yet, of course if you are going to sell yours its selling price will rocket down. That’s why some manufacturer releases an entry trim under limited edition so they can double its price.
3. Vehicle Performance. Who does not need extra powered car these days? 1 out of 100 buyers’ maybe.
4. Your vehicle’s popularity. This goes to manifest that if your car lacks information or reviews about it, then impacts your car in a quite bad standing. But popularity doesn’t always mean ubiquity or overproduction of its same model.
5. Damage. Especially those that is easily seen or quite visible. Be sure to repair any sign of damage to you vehicle especially those minor fender-benders. This will also leave an impression that you as a driver or owner doesn’t take good care if your car. In most instances, buyers do background check on the owner as well. Crack windshield is also a big NO and must be immediately replaced. Never mind the cost of replacement. The price mark down is more of a waste rather than the cost of its replacement. Take notice also with the scratches and dings, these may seem harmless but it will rips off much from your vehicle’s resale value.
6. What is your vehicle? I mean its make and model. There are just make and model that the price from its name. That’s what you called preceding reputation.

Well, basically that’s it. You need to ask yourself or check your vehicle with it. For my next post, I will make a short list of tips to maintain the resale value of your car. Either you have the intention of selling it or not, keeping your car maintained should be done.

THINGS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE BUYING ONLINE

1. Do I know who I am dealing with?

Before anything else, or placing an order for that matter, you have to know enough who are you dealing with. Is it a legit company or reputable at least? As I already said, before you purchase from a certain company, you need to know its important contact information. You should know the physical address (the location of the company or warehouse), phone numbers including fax numbers. This way, you will be confident that the store/seller/company you are dealing with are legitimate.

2. Did I check the items to buy carefully? Is it really the item I need?

One of the common problems encountered in buying online is getting the wrong stuff. At some cases, it is not always the seller’s fault. This usually happens when buying for car parts replacement or accessories since this items comes with lot of specifications before you pin-point the right one. There are just customers that had failed or overlooked some important details about the product before they places their orders unhesitant. Ask the seller for more details of the pictured or described items in the website. Sometime, there is really difference from the actual item to the pictured one. Admit it; there are also details in the descriptions that you need more clarification. The golden rule would be, when you are in doubt, as for clarifications.

3. Did I read the terms and condition and understand it clearly?

All online stores include their terms and conditions which apply to all of their transactions. It is always important to read every clause stated on their contract statement or terms if you don’t want to be the one to breach the contract at the end of the deal. If you feel you understand it already, you can now click that “I agree” or “I accept” button and push through the transaction. Often included in the terms or agreement are the warranties clause, transaction policies like cancellation and returning of the item and other concerns like options and solutions when problem encountered. You can print the terms if you want to re-read it; after all, it is easier to read in a hard copy.

4. Is my transaction secure?

You can be confidently answer this if you have could answer the number one question plus the site of that store you are purchasing from has a complete encryption facility that gives its customers the security by securing each page you have filled up with your information. Check also for other protection and security assurance on the entire page of the site.

5. What are the other charges or fees that may accrue?

The thing is, it is not only the price of the item you are going to pay. More often than not, shipping and handling cost will be shouldered by the buyer unless otherwise the site offers free shipping. But there are still ongoing fees like insurance and taxes.

6. Did I check the item first before I finished the transaction?

There are good websites/ online store that summarize your transaction first before they will ask you to submit your order or confirm it. You have to know the final cost before you finish off the transaction so you would be surprised when your bills arrive.

7. When will my order be shipped?

When you cleared already with the first six questions, the last thing you will ask is when your purchased item will arrive. It is better to ask for estimated delivery date or period of arrival time so you will know when to expect for the item. If they say it will be in about 3 days, you have to wait for 3 days before you can call their customer service for delay inquiries and follow-ups.

So there, these are just the basic questions that you should ask yourself before entering into a particular transaction especially online.

COMMON PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

While the comfort of buying online is undeniable, there are still instances or circumstances that will take that convenience away from you and will be replaced with annoyance and regret over why you have ordered for it online anyway. But there is always first time for everything. Even we have used our common senses at hundred percent, still there are times we become victims of scam, fraud or simple misinterpretation of transactions, delay on deliveries or erroneous transactions.

I have listed the following common problems encountered in buying online. Anticipation for these problems could be a great help to avoid it in the first place. I will try in my next post the solutions to these problems but first let me enumerate it for you.

Have you experienced the following in buying online?

• Wrong product being delivered to you. I have experienced this once when I ordered a right side mirror for my car. I was quite impressed with its fast shipping but only to my dismay when I opened the package. The wrong part was the one that have been delivered. These are just normal cases that have simple solutions. I have just informed their customer representative about the mistake. This is the reason why it is always best to choose online store that offers complete customer back-up and assistance.
• Poor after-sales service. Thanks god I haven’t experience this yet, as I mentioned about the wrong product delivered to me, my queries and complaints were entertained duly. They were even prompt and apologetic enough with it. But a friend who have purchased from one online store which is quite doubtful in the first place has a very poor after-sale service. When Nick (my friend) attempted to contact them, all he hears is a busy tone on the other line.
• The Item didn’t match the description. This time, the part is correct but what you expect out of it turned out to be the opposite of its description. Before buying, you should read and inspect the pictures clearly being shown. It is better to call their hotline for further information of the product to avoid experiencing this. For me, I always go to online store that does not only give away brief descriptions of their products.
• No Delivery of the Item Purchased. This is the reason why you need to have a background check on the company you are buying from. Good companies state their physical office address and authentic contact numbers.
• Email addresses sold to third parties. You have to read carefully their site’s privacy information or statements. There are sites that really relay email ads to third parties. You need to request for confidentiality of your personal information before ordering.
• Delays with online purchases and shipping. This is a problem that somehow has a lot of alibis and reasons behind it. When this happens, you need to do incessant follow-up for your items to be delivered. Make sure by the way that this happens during ordinary days. Holidays and other fortuitous events are valid reasons for delays. You can’t argue or force the delivery in these times.
• Misuse of Credit cards or any payment method details. This is the situation I always pray I will not experience. First you will undergo the hassle of retracting back the payments since you will deal with two companies, the store and your credit card issuer.

These are just few of the common problems that you will encounter when you buy online. But this rarely happens especially if you know you have purchased or order in a step as per instructed. Online shopping just like anything else does not always guarantee smooth ways or that it will go everything is according to plan. Just be wary and make sure that you are ordering from the reputable dealers with competent customer service assistance.

As for my last post, I have listed the benefits and advantages of buying car parts and accessories or any thing for that matter online.

This time I will share with you the things you should remember or know before buying online. There are lots of scams happening around the web these days so you better be wary of the your rights as a consumer but don’t loose your confidence, there are established and well trusted online store that offers safe and secured transaction plus a quality service you will enjoy.

So what is there to check before placing down your orders or bids?

v Check the website’s URL address. It is better to type the URL on the address book that clicking on the embedded link to be sure you are directed on the right company.

v Look for the online protection and security assurance that the company offers. Usually it is located at the bottom of the website. The VeriSign and HackerSafe security are examples of this.

v If you want easy and fast comparison for the product, there are comparison shops that compare online dealer’s prices, shipping rates and handling fees. So it will be easy for you to choose where shop or store to buy.

v It is always good to call their customer service hotline for complete details and information about the product and the company itself as well. Know its full business mailing address and contact numbers. It is better to research about the website before you make an order.

v Always read on customer’s testimonials and feedbacks although its authenticity is not guaranteed, still it could help somehow.

v It is smart to save all the information and transaction done on your computer. Bookmark it or print the transaction pages. This will help you to track your transactions down in case there is a problem with your purchase. You can back yourself up with these evidences as you know the exact date of the purchase, the price and your means of paying for the product.

v Read carefully the terms and condition so you will if it’s good enough for you. Including the privacy statement details where it state what they will going to do with your personal information or details. You can ask the company to keep your information private.

v Don’t hastily fill out forms that ask for your credit card information if you are paying through it. Some website shell out your credit card information to other companies. Be sure to contact your credit card issuer for more security. This goes the same way with other paying methods. Look for the company that has the secure way of paying known as encryption facility. Encryption facility uses “padlocks” right after you finish up filling the forms. Another symbol you can look for is an unbroken key.

v A good company or online dealer will honestly have a fair estimate as to when or how the item’s purchased is delivered. An answer that it will be delivered is not a good answer; they must have a specified shipping period for that.

In summary, a good company or online merchant offers protection of your privacy (always they don’t ask sensitive information via email), payment security and details a clear terms of agreement or conditions. It also let customers have the right to cancel orders and delivers the items at their prescribed or promised time period. You must also know that you have the right to complain if you deemed it necessary. Opt for the companies that offer sorting out complaints where they could entertain queries and complaints.

When it comes to car parts replacement and accessories, would you go buying online?

Putting up an anti-theft device on your car is just one of the ways to secure your car’s safety. It is quite practical and the best solution in answer to the growing cases of car thefts and robberies around this country and anywhere else. There are lots of available anti-devices ranging from most expensive to the less expensive one. So determine your budget first and the demand for such device. If you usually park you car unattended to not secured places, you probably need one. But if you know that you always park you car to places with security and private parking areas, you most likely have second thoughts. But secured or not, it is always best to be always sure that your car is well-protected. And most importantly you are having some peace of mind while you are away with your car.

So what are the available anti-theft devices you could get? Here is the list of possible and common anti-theft devices you can get your car:

Car Alarms

Alarms are more of the conventional type of anti-theft device for cars. It functions using electronic sensors that are designed to make alarming or siren sound unauthorized entry to the vehicle is made such as breaking its glass or any forcible entry. The problem with some alarm is the overly sensitive sensor it has that a simple movement would cause it to activate. At most instance, it will cause disturbance and embarrassment. Make sure that the alarm you are equipping your car are the type that is fairly reliable.

Immobilizer

Either electronic or mechanical, this device prevents the engine from being activated As according to type, mechanical immobilizers is know as door or ignition lock to restrict access or any action of opening the cars without the correct key. While the electronic immobilizers which are usually used in modern cars protect the cars using built-in transponder or microchip that send signals to the ignition and fuel system of the vehicle through its correct keys. So, once another key is used it will not activate the transponder to extend signal to the fuel and ignition system, hence the car will not start.

Steering Wheel Lock

This is an inexpensive way to give your car protection from thefts. Usually a long metal bar with locks or a metal shield on the steering column. Both designed to prevent the steering wheels from being controlled. The long metal bar steering wheel lock is visible for outside lookers so it will give instant impression that your car is equipped with locks and security devices.

Tire or Wheel Locks

This works like the steering wheels lock but tire or wheel locks are used in the wheels that comes in circular steel to hold restraint on any wheel or tire movement. It is installed like a clamp to hold the wheels up that it would be impossible for your car to move.

Hood Locks

This is in protection of your engine parts and other components inside the crankcase and engine compartment. This is used in addition to the locks in the hoods.

Gearshift Locks

This would prevent the gear shifts from being used thus, any motion desired will not be possibly granted. This are locking box securely attached to the gearshift that serves as a latch for restricting movement or any action.

These are just few of the anti-theft device you can install or use in your car. Just remember that choosing the right device depends on your needs although all cars are susceptible to being robbed since cutting-edge anti-theft devices are expensive and needs a professional to install it in your car which also means additional expense.
