Rochester's harsh winters can leave your car feeling grimy and dull. But fear not, spring warriors! With a little elbow grease and these clever hacks, you can transform your winter chariot into a sparkling spring ride:

1. Tackle the Salt Stains:

Rochester's winter roads often leave behind a white, crusty residue. A vinegar solution works wonders! Dilute one part white vinegar with three parts water in a spray bottle, spritz the affected areas, and wipe clean.

2. Banish the Brine Buildup:

Winter slush can leave a sticky mess on your car's undercarriage. Invest in a good undercarriage wash at a car wash, or tackle it yourself with a garden hose and a degreaser specifically designed for cars.

3. Deep Clean the Carpets:

Spring cleaning isn't just about exteriors! Rent a carpet cleaner specifically designed for cars, or sprinkle baking soda on your carpets, let it sit for 30 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly.

4. Freshen Up the Fabric:

Combat lingering winter odors with baking soda. Sprinkle it on your seats and floor mats, let it sit for an hour, then vacuum thoroughly. Coffee grounds can also help neutralize stubborn odors.

5. Window Shine for Crystal Clarity:

For a streak-free shine, ditch the paper towels and opt for a microfiber cloth with some good quality glass cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion for a sparkling finish.
