There’s never a bad time to do some Spring Cleaning!  And that’s especially true if we’re talking about our vehicles, of course.  We spend a lot of time on the go to and from work, school, activities, clubs, classes, and all sorts of other adventures. In fact, AAA says that American drivers spend about 17,600 minutes on average behind the wheel of a car. That’s a long time to be in there without cleaning, and even more frightening to learn more than 30% of drivers rarely clean their car.  Did you know that there are about 700 different strains of bacteria living in your vehicle?  Yikes! It’s a good thing Classic is here to help with our handy guide to DIY hacks for a cleaner, tidier vehicle!
