Protecting Your Car's Interior With Custom Accessories
If you are like most people, you spend a lot of time in your car between commuting, running errands, and relaxing on the weekend. So it makes sense that you would want to keep your car looking good inside and out. There are some great accessories that can help you keep your interior clean and comfortable that will still allow you to use the car daily.
Custom Fit Floor Mats
One of the best places to start is on the floor of your car. The place that takes the most abuse is the carpeting. You get into the car after being in all kinds of different weather conditions or with dirt or sand on your feet. Vacuuming the car out is great but it does little to protect the carpeting from stains and wear. The solution is a floor mat but so often the universal mats that are supposed to fit your car don't. They slide all over the place. The alternative is to consider a custom fit floor mat that will protect the carpet and is designed to fit precisely so they do not move around once they are in the car. They are typically deeper so they hold liquid if something gets spilled or if your feet are wet when you get into the car.
Custom Seat Covers
Adding a seat cover to the car is a great way to protect the upholstery from stains, wear, and rips. If you get a good cover that is designed to fit properly, it will be almost unnoticeable in the car. Be sure to find a cover made specifically for your car to get the best fit. They will be a little more expensive but the fit will be so much better that it will be worth it in the long run. There are a lot of really great colors and designs available so you can pick something that will enhance your car's interior and express your personal tastes at the same time.
Steering Wheel Covers
Another area that is often overlooked is the steering wheel. Because it is located where it is, the sun beats on the wheel all day long. Add to that the oils and dirt from your hands that get on the wheel as you drive and it is no wonder the wheel gets dirty and ugly looking eventually. One thing you can do to help is to install a steering wheel cover over the wheel. You can find one to match the interior or with a character, logo, or design on it that will express your personality. Cleaning the wheel regularly and whipping it down with leather and vinyl protectant will also help extend the life of the steering wheel.
