Keep your vehicle in tip-top shape during lockdown

With many people working from home during the lockdown, cars are staying in the garage for longer periods of time. To ensure that you’re not stuck with a car that won’t start or a flat tyre when you do want to head out, you need to do regular maintenance.

Here is a checklist to keep in mind:

Exterior

  • Treat your vehicle to a luxurious CREAM wash to ensure it’s squeaky clean and polished. Our special blend will ensure your vehicle is not only clean, but your paint is also protected.
  • Before you head out, make sure your tyres are still properly inflated. If not, you might want to visit your nearest filling station for a top-up. Check the tyre treads too, because worn tyres are extremely dangerous (and may earn you a fine!).
  • Ensure that your spare tyre is still in good condition and properly inflated.

Interior

  • Clear out your cubby hole, under the seats and in all the little nooks and crannies where trash and other bits and bobs collect. If you leave trash in your car, it could attract pests and bacteria. You may even find items or documents you’ve been looking for!
  • CREAM can quickly and safely sanitize your car. This is a good idea if your vehicle’s been standing for a while or if you regularly drive and could be exposed to Covid-19.

Under the hood

  • If you don’t use your car for a few weeks, your battery can go flat. To prevent this, take your car for a spin at least once a week. Keep jumper cables handy, in case your car needs a little help to start.
  • Visit your nearest filling station and let them check the oil and water or do it yourself at home. You can get a container of oil at your nearest filling station or a hardware store.

So, if your vehicle needs some extra love and care during the lockdown, visit your nearest CREAM branch and see why our customers keep coming back.

Why should I sanitize my car?

You’re kitted out with your mask and hand sanitizer and you haven’t shaken anyone’s hand in months. You’re keeping safe and clean both at home, in town and at work. But what about while you’re travelling?

While most people are focused on personal hygiene, few have considered the germs that travel with them in their car every day.

That’s where Cream Car Wash comes in. We’re fighting on the front line of the Covid-19 epidemic by providing an interior sanitizing service for your vehicle for just R40.00.

Within a few minutes, we’ll have your car germ-free and give you (and your family) peace of mind as you travel during the Covid-19 epidemic.

So why is it important to regularly sanitize your vehicle?

  • As you move around at work or in the shops, you pick up all kinds of germs. You transfer these onto the steering wheel, door handles and even radio dials.
  • If you take a family member to run errands or drop the kids off at school, they run the risk of being infected by the germs left in your vehicle.
  • Anyone who shares your ride can spread more germs.
  • If you’re using a rental car it’s better to be cautious and sanitize it after you pick it up and before you drop it off.
  • When using a company vehicle, especially if several people regularly travel in it, chances of infection are higher.
  • Although contact infection is not the main way the virus is spread, it is better to take extra precautions.

Sanitizing the interior of vehicles is a tricky business as many conventional methods can damage your upholstery and other surfaces. That’s why Cream Car Wash uses a special sanitizing agent that will leave your surfaces in the same tip-top shape they were.
