Looking to sell your car here are 6 things to do

1.) CLEAN WINDOWS

Clean windows including inside and outside give big presence to your vehicle . studies show that people subconsciously associate window cleanliness with total quality auto care

2.) CLEAN WHEELS

even scratched wheels can look ok on a vehicle but darkened and nasty brake dust stained rims are an eye sore and can look like poor maintenance. If possible clean your wheels with an appropriate wheel cleaner and a good scrub to make that appeal pop for the vehicle.

3.) TIRE SHINE

Obviously tire tread is important but often people assume shiny tires are good tires and can often be a real improvement just by applying tire shine to the tires

4.) CLEAN THE CARPET AND SEATS

This is some thing that I see many people overlook when selling a car. Give the floors a quality cleaning use a brush and really scrub the dirt loose before you vacuum it out.  Even though you may be tired of looking at it and that’s why your selling it a good quality vacuum can make a big difference to someone looking at it.

5.) ENGINE BAY CLEAN UP 

You don’t have to go crazy in this area but make sure its not full of leaves and use a light degreaser on plastics and such. You can take it to the local carwash or your own home tools to really clean it but that’s at your own risk as cars vary for me to honestly say  “yeah it’s safe to blast water in this engine bay”  gives the potential buyer a sense that you actually cared for car maintenance

6.) MAKE SURE ALL THE LIGHTS WORK 

headlights turn signals etc. nothing seems more off putting then a car that doesn’t function but I have seen peoples mood change drastically over just a little running light not working. Then they nitpick everything, which before they spend any money they have that right but I like to keep the sales conversation to a friendly and satisfying experience for the buyer  a 7 dollar light is an easy expense for that experience 

doing all these things will definitely net you a better selling experience and rewarding vehicle sale 

Cleaning Throttle Bodies

 

I DO NOT RECOMMEND REMOVAL OF THE THROTTLE BODY for cleaning, if you have a DBW (Drive By Wire) throttle do not force the plate open at all with your hand or tool this can throw off the computers sensor of throttle position as well as if you unplug it. to clean a dbw just tun the key to ON position and have a helper press the gas pedal to clean the system. if you unplug or tamper with these DBW systems you may have to find someone with the scan tool or take it to the dealer to fix.

  I recommend cleaning a throttle is when it's sticking. I've personally never seen cleaning a throttle body correct an idle issue. , clean parts are usually working parts, but in the case of the throttle, I only recommend cleaning the throttle body if you notice your gas pedal sticking or hanging up when you use it.
Your intake gets dirty because of one main reason: the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system. . The PCV system helps vent crankcase pressure and reduces emissions. Whenever you have moving parts in an enclosed space, like pistons moving inside an engine block, you need to vent the pressure that inevitably builds up.
