If you’ve had your Palisade hidden in your garage all winter long, it’s time to show it off. But first, you’ll need to give it a good wash. You’ll wanna make sure you clean your Hyundai’s wheels, tires, windows, and mirrors to get them sparkling again.

Exterior Wash

When you get ready to wash your Hyundai, remember to use a mild car detergent with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth for the exterior. And don’t forget to clean those wheel wells, undercarriage, and areas behind the wheels where dirt and salt can accumulate. You’ll be ready to drive that Palisade all over town.

Waxing & Polishing

Give your car that extra love it deserves. Consider waxing the exterior for added protection and shine. Use a polish or paint sealant to restore the paint’s luster. Your ride will thank you for the fresh new look.

Wheels & Tires

You may have washed the exterior, but your wheels and tires still need some extra attention. Grab your wheel cleaner of choice to break down that brake dust and grime, and don’t forget to apply some tire cleaner for that extra shine. Remember to check your tire pressure and add air as needed for optimal performance. 

Windows & Mirrors

Don’t overlook the importance of seeing clearly when you’re driving. Grab some glass cleaner and hit both the inside and outside of your windows and mirrors. A microfiber cloth works like magic to keep it streak-free.

Santa Cruz owners, your pickup has been through it all this winter. Hauling, camping, wood-cutting, you name it. Now, it’s cleanup time! Vacuum and wash those floor mats, tidy up the truck bed, and take a peek under the hood for a fluid check.

Vacuum & Wash the Floor Mats

Kick off the cleaning process by removing both front and back floor mats. Dive into the carpets and upholstery with a thorough vacuum session. Reach under the seats for those hidden spots. After that, treat your mats to a good wash using an approved cleaner.

Clean out the Truck Bed

Before you begin, make sure to remove any tools or equipment from your truck bed. Optimal cleaning starts with a thorough spray to eliminate all dirt and debris. Follow it up with a good scrub, rinse, and then let your truck bed soak up the sun for drying.

Under the Hood

Don’t overlook the heart of your Hyundai, the engine bay. Clear out any debris and give it a gentle wipe with a damp cloth. Take a closer look at hoses and belts for wear and tear. Regular DIY inspections like these are the secret to keeping your car running smoothly.

Check Your Fluids

Refill the windshield wiper fluid and take a moment to check, top off, or change the motor oil, brake, and transmission fluids. Also, make sure your wiper blades are ready for those spring rain showers and replace them if needed.
