Advice
- If you perform this quick procedure often, you will keep your car in good condition easily and in less time.
- If you live in a cold area and don't have a garage, it will be best to do a more thorough cleaning in late winter or spring.
- Plastic mats are an excellent alternative if you live in areas with mud / water / snow. Just remove them, beat them and clean them with the rubber hose for the water.
- EXTENSION NOTE: If you have a vacuum cleaner that does not run on battery, you can use an extension cord to reach the electrical plug. Be careful with electricity.
