How to give your car a Presales Makeover

We’ve all heard about personal makeover, but is there really a makeover for a car?

Well, you could call preparing your car for a sale a makeover, because you are going to take some steps by which it looks really neat and well… almost new! Here are a few tips on how to spruce up your car before a sale:

Give the body of your car a good wash. This will make it look really spick and span. After you’ve washed the car give it a good polish. Use cheesecloth rag to wipe off grime and dirt before you start with the polishing.
Next, areas to clean are the wheels. Apply some degreaser on them before pressure cleaning them.
Give your tires a totally new look with tyre black. You can apply it to other areas such as the exhaust pipe outlet, mudflaps, and mufflers.
Don’t leave the inside out! Give the inside of your car a good cleaning with vacuum, so that the car floor, seats and glove box becomes neat.
Surfaces such as the dash board, the areas behind the rear seats and so on should be wiped using a damp cloth.
If you happen to notice stains on the seats, there are many cleaning products in the market that can help you to remove these stains.
You may notice a smell inside the car. You can freshen this up with a car freshener.
Clean the car boot with using vacuum cleaner.
Have a mechanic over and get a through inspection of your car. Fix areas that need repairs before you place an ad for sale.

When you present a well-maintained car to prospective buyer you can get the right price for it. On the other hand a sloppy look or a car that show signs of repairs required to a prospective buyer, will result in buyers bringing down the price or worse not even being interested in it!

Summary

When you give your car a good clean-up and check up on part condition before placing an ad for sale, you can get the right buyers interested in your car.
