Sap, heat, and bug stains are all bound to happen when your apartment’s parking is outdoors. We have all the tips to make sure you keep your car well taken care of to prevent permanent damage and properly wipe away minor marks from the outdoors.

Bug and sap spray
This affordable cleaning solution specifically designed for cars is the perfect way to clean your car fast. If you let tree sap sit on your car for too long, it can harden and become harder to remove. If on too long, it can even soak up the paint of a car. By keeping a spray on hand, you can wipe away sap and bugs in minutes instead of taking a trip to the car wash.

Car shades
Car shades are placed inside your car on the windshield. This prevents the intense sun from overheating your car. During the peak summer months in the south, this can make a huge difference in the feel and look of the interior of your car. Prevent a burning hot steering wheel and seats by putting up this shield every time you park your car.

Car covers
Car covers go on the outside of the car. If you park in an area with lots of trees, this would be a wise investment to prevent scratches from loose branches and debris. This is also great during pollen season to prevent your car from turning yellow!

Wash your car on a regular basis
Investing in a car wash membership is a smart idea when parking outside. Many car washes offer an inexpensive basic membership that may be a great investment if your vehicle gets dirty fast. If you go soon after finding sap on your car, the car wash will easily take it off. As a plus, lots of car washes offer free vacuuming after a wash!

Be sure to research products before buying them for your car. We hope these tips help keep your car clean and cool all year round!
