Keep your car in mint condition with these 5 products

By

We spend a lot of time in cars. Whether it is to and from our commutes, grabbing dinner, running errands, catching an Uber, or going on adventurous weekend road trips. Things eventually seem to pile up until we’re unsure how long it has been since they first got there. We all love the look and smell of a clean car or, at the very least, one that does not require a few air fresheners to mask the smell of takeout. So, whether you are the main driver for your family, drive for your job, work for Uber, or are looking for that perfect gift for someone always on the go, let me show you the products you need to keep your car in prime condition.

The first thing we all need is a trash can. Yes, our cars have those, but they fill up quickly, and items can stay in there for months. This product is a great place to keep all stray pieces of trash in one spot. You can attach it to your side door, headrest, or console, and it comes with 20 garbage bags, making it easy to empty without the need to reattach the product to your car. If you love your built-in trash compartments, that’s fine; no judgment, you can still use this. It’s also a waterproof and leak-proof car cooler, so it’s great for road trips and keeps your drinks and snacks at an ideal temperature.

Now that you have the front of your car tidy, it’s time we head towards the trunk. This multi-compartment car organizer can be sized, depending on your needs, and is collapsible, so it’s easy to store. It’s waterproof and has tie-down straps, so you don’t have to worry about your groceries flying around or scattering out if traffic calls to hit the brakes.

And what about the crumbs, dirt, and debris hanging around like uninvited guests? This handheld car vacuum cleaner has a built-in LED light and a washable double HEPA filter. It comes with three different nozzles, allowing you to thoroughly clean the interior, even the car’s Bermuda triangle. It plugs into a 12V outlet, has a 16-foot-long power cord, and as a bonus, you can get 20% off if you bundle this with the Multi-Compartment Car Organizer above.

After throwing out the trash, organizing the trunk, and adding a dash cover, it’s time to make sure your important papers are in the right place. This sun visor will block the sun and UV rays at any angle and help on those long road trips. Don’t fumble trying to find your license and registration in the glove compartment when you can know exactly where it’s at if you need it.

Congratulations, the inside of your car is brand new, but don’t neglect your car’s exterior. We can’t have the interior be flawless and the outside dirty. No worries, I got the perfect solution for that. This kit will transform your car, making it shine. It is water-powered and comes with a white and black brush, one for heavy-duty surfaces, the other gentle. All you need to do is connect it to your garden hose, and you’re ready to clean. Plus, you can use it on grills, patio furniture, bikes, etc., but we’ll save that project for another day.

No longer worry whether your groceries will empty in your trunk from the slightest tap on the brakes. Start planning your next road trip with water and snacks that don’t have to withstand the heat. Be careful; these additions elevate your car, and everyone may want to start hitching a ride with you (or maybe it will help get you five stars).
