Inspect the golf cart for any visible damage or debris that may be stuck on the exterior

We get it. It is an exciting feeling to get on to that golf cart and go straight to the first hole and start an adventurous day. But before you jump right in, it is important to take a good look at your golf cart for any visible damage or debris. This step can merely take moments but can be an important safety measure to ensure a successful day using your golf cart for luxurious leisure. Make sure to keep an eye out for any kinds of bumps, scratches, or dents that can lead to unsafe conditions on your golf cart. If you address even the smallest detail such as a missing bolt or a missing twig inside the wheel well, this will lead to a successful outing and a smooth day of golf. So, take a moment to inspect your golf cart and ensure that it is in perfect condition to hit the course with confidence and success.

Gather necessary supplies, such as a hose, cleaning brush, cleaning solution, and microfiber cloths

It is that time of the year that most may dread but is necessary. Spring cleaning is here. And that also means spring cleaning for your golf cart. If you are tackling spring cleaning or even regular maintenance such as cleaning your golf cart, you will need to gather your supplies first. These supplies consist of a hose, a cleaning brush, cleaning solutions, and microfiber cloths. Once you gather these supplies and are ready to begin washing your golf cart, you will be surprised what just a little bit of hard work and cleaning supplies can do to make your golf cart sparkling clean as if you had just purchased it. 

Rinse off the golf cart with a hose in order to remove any dirt and grime

All right, you have completed a successful inspection, and you have all the necessary supplies to begin the washing process of your golf cart, setting yourself up for success to ensure a wonderful day out on the golf course. Now it is time to rinse your golf cart with a sturdy garden hose. Once you begin, make sure to go all around your golf cart, ensuring that it has been rinsed in its entirety. By doing so, you will witness the dirt and the debris slowly coming from the golf cart preventing further staining and reducing the cleanliness of your golf cart. We believe that a clean golf cart can boost your confidence and pride in your golf cart investment. So, make sure to give that golf cart a nice rinse before you go out for a day of golf or before you pack it up and stop for the day. Additionally, you will revisit this step once more after we get to our next step in the washing process of your golf cart, by brushing your golf cart with cleaning solutions.

Use a cleaning brush with solution to scrub away any spots or stains that may be present

The cleaning process can always be a strenuous process to washing your golf cart, but once you have the right tools such as cleaning solutions and a high-quality brush, it will make the task much easier. A cleaning brush with cleaning solution can make a significant impact to a successful wash to your golf cart. This brush is used for various cleaning tasks around your home such as removing stains from carpet, upholstery, a solid surface, and of course your golf cart. While you are scrubbing off your golf cart with your brush, we find it important that you take this step carefully applying just enough pressure tackling down fibers or crevices affected by previous stains to your golf cart. When you are using excellent quality products such as a brush and cleaning solutions, even the toughest step in the washing process of your golf cart can be satisfying.

Rinse off the golf cart once again and dry it off with the microfiber cloths

The best feeling you can have while driving your golf cart alongside with the performance is the overall image of your golf cart. So, after providing a perfect scrub with excellent quality cleaning supplies, the next step is to give your golf cart a final rinse and to dry it with a microfiber cloth giving your golf cart a more precise finish to what it looked like beforehand out on the greens. Once more, you will need your sturdy garden hose and a bucket filled with soap and water to begin this task. After you have given your golf cart a nice rinse and scrub, your next move would be to dry it off with a microfiber cloth. This trusty absorbent fabric will leave no streaks or lint behind, which will further establish a more fresh and clean golf cart looking brand spanking new and ready for future use. The more the golf cart is washed and cleaned, the more luxurious it is going to look. Go for it, give that golf car the wash it deserves, it will look great and make you feel great in your confidence and performance.

6.Apply a specialized wax or protectant to protect against future dirt and grime buildup

This last step will be the ultimate touch that will make your golf cart truly stand out amongst others. However, this last step can be quite a challenge for your golf cart due to the constant exposures that your golf cart faces while out on the greens such as dirt, grimes, mud, weeds, or fresh cut grass. This is why we recommend that you apply a special wax or protectant to your golf cart after giving it a good cleaning.
