With all the holiday party’s and activities this December, you will be wanting to keep your beloved Conversion Van in tip top appearance. This means having a good cleaning regiment! Conversion vans are sleek, stylish, and luxurious and really make a statement! Use the following tips for keeping your van looking like a fresh off the dealership floor.
Take into account the size of your vehicle:
Conversion vans are so functional because they have the ability to carry numerous passengers and provide storage for all sorts of goods, groceries and luggage. They really are the perfect vehicles for all your holiday travels.
Due to your vans larger size, taking it to a traditional drive in carwash may not be the best idea. Some drive in car washes will not be tall enough for high-top vans.
Using a ladder is a great way to ensure a thorough wash. If you have one handy that adjusts to 6 feet or two, (one 6 foot and one four foot), you are in good shape to reach the vans roof and sides. Remember when using a ladder to wash your van, its always a good idea to have someone to spot you. Slippery ladders are incredibly dangerous. Work in pairs to ensure your safety.
Break up your van into sections. Washing your conversion van can feel like a big job! Dividing your vehicle up into several different portions can ensure you clean the vehicle more thoroughly and are less overwhelmed.
Have the following equipment for greater cleaning ease:
Hose attachment
Use a hose attachment to get some of the hard to reach spots. It’s a great way to get your soap on the ceiling and along the vans sides. Using a hose can eliminate an awkward, heavy bucket of water you have to carry around.
Buy a hookable bucket or tray
Having a hookable bucket can help you avoid numerous trips up and down your ladder.
Long handles squeegees
Using a long handled squeegees or a spray bottle can help you reach your windshield with much greater ease. Cleaning your windshield is typically going to be the most difficult part of washing your van. Again, make it a two-person job! If you divide it up into two separate sides it should be pretty smooth.
Invest in spray wax
You don’t have to wax your conversion van very often if you purchase spray wax. If you purchase a spray-based wax and use it every time you wash you can reduce the need to recoat about 4 times a year.
