Is it time to give your car a good spring cleaning?

Does it bug you every time you stare at your car’s floor mats?

Have you been noticing all those orange specks and black sticky spots on your vehicle? It might be time for some car spring cleaning!

It’s my first time owning a car, so at first I thought those orange specks were early signs of rust. It turns out they’re just iron deposits (also known as rail dust or fallout) that you can easily remove with an iron remover. Those black sticky spots? It might be road tar, tree sap, or artillery fungus. The easy solution is to find a bug and tar remover.

It’s also that time of the year to start booking your tire swap appointments. If you haven’t booked yet, now’s the time before all the spots fill up!
