Car Care Tips from Restoration Business

MOKENA, Ill.--This October, which is Fall Car Care Month, Creative Colors International is offering some helpful advice to drivers on protecting and maintaining the interior of their vehicles.

"Sure, drivers might do regular surface cleaning inside their vehicles every so often, but it takes more than just wiping the dashboard and vacuuming the carpet," said Mark J. Bollman, president of Creative Colors International. "Taking a little time to protect the interior of your car and prevent damage could save you big bucks."

Bollman suggests the following tips for drivers to keep in mind as they enter the new season:

  • Change your floor mats. With the transition in seasons and the possible accompaniment of autumn leaves, snow and ice on your automobile carpeting, drivers may want to consider replacing standard floor mats with more heavy duty ones
  • Clean your leather seats. Drivers who have a vinyl or leather interior should consider treating it with a special cleaner to protect it from wear and tear throughout the autumn and winter seasons. However, the use of too much oil or wax can clog pores, causing leather to lose its ability to allow air in and moisture out. Therefore, consult a professional before doing it yourself. For example, Creative Colors International offers cleaning and conditioning products.
  • Detail your vehicle's interior. At the beginning of each season, drivers should give their vehicles a special treatment: a full interior detail job. Whether they do it on their own or take it in for the professionals, a regular, complete cleaning of the interior of the automobile is necessary to keep its original look.

Specializing in the repairing, reconditioning, protection and color restoration of leather, vinyl, fabric, plastic and carpeting, Creative Colors International assists the automotive, furniture, commercial and residential markets. All necessary repairs are performed on-site at your home, office, restaurant, body shop or car dealership location.
