Protect Your Car's Interior from Messy Spring Weather
By: Courtesy of ARA Content

It’s that time of year when people have had enough of cold weather, snow, ice and winter in general, and thoughts turn to spring -- warmer temperatures, sprouting plants and melting snow and slush. It is important to protect your car’s interior from leftover road salt, sand and springtime mud.

You may be pleasantly surprised to discover that floor mats can be not only functional, but attractive and can complement the look of your car. Best of all, you can buy mats that are custom fit to the exact year, make and model of your vehicle -- no more bunching up and sliding around, which can be not only inconvenient, but dangerous.

“Custom floor mats are a good investment; protecting your carpet not only keeps your car showroom clean, but also helps maintain its value. Because custom mats fit like a glove, they do a much better job of keeping dirt and water off the floor of your car, SUV, minivan or truck. And they are available in a wide range of materials and colors to match your interior,” says Kim Painley, director of merchandising for AutoSport, a company that specializes in car accessories.

Choices range from plastic to plush, so there is a style for every budget, every taste and every season. For example, sports fans can flaunt their allegiance with floor mats featuring the logo of a favorite NCAA or NFL team embroidered in full color. The soft, thick carpet has non-slip rubber backing to help protect the car and keep the mats in place. True fans can show team pride with a matching NCAA logo hitch cover. “Not only do sports fans buy these for themselves, but they make great practical yet unique gifts,” says Painley.

AutoSport’s Husky Liners are great for winter and spring, or year round if your van or SUV takes a lot of wear and tear from kids, cargo or pets. Keep your interior looking like new with liners for cargo area as well as for the front and rear floor. AutoSport offers a wide range of cargo liners custom made for your specific vehicle, so you won’t ever need to worry about spills or dirt. If you’d like a something less utilitarian, Catch-All Floor Protectors provide the comfort and elegance of carpeting while protecting your vehicle with a moisture barrier and molded outer edges to catch dirt, mud, and water. All of these mats and liners can be easily cleaned by simply taking them out of the vehicle, hosing them off and allowing them to dry.

For the ultimate in pampering, Luxury Custom Mats feature deep, sumptuous pile that will stay that way for years, due to a special treatment that resists staining and soiling. The luxury mats can be personalized with your monogram branded into a handsome leather patch. Treat yourself to these sumptuous mats, or give them to your favorite car enthusiast.

All of these mats and more in the company’s catalog are custom fit to the make, model and year of your car. “When you place your order, we’ll ask you for these details so you can be assured of a perfect, custom fit,” says Painley. “You can also choose from our color selection to get just the look you want for your interior.”

To help the rest of your interior look as good as your new mats, try AutoSport’s Interior Care Kit. It will only take a few minutes to beautify and preserve your car’s interior using the products in this all-in-one kit: AutoSport Haze-Free Glass Cleaner, Interior Vinyl Protection, Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner, plus the Glassmaster Cleaning System, all stored in a double-spout, 16-quart bucket.

The Glassmaster multi-purpose cleaning system is the fastest, most effective way to clean interior and exterior auto glass, including corners and hard-to-reach areas. The Glassmaster tool has a sculpted, pivoting head with a foam backing that conforms to window contours; the head attaches to a handle for better reach. The system includes three interchangeable, reusable cleaning bonnets that fit over the head: micro-fiber for dusting and fine cleaning, terrycloth for general cleaning and nylon mesh for removing bugs, tar and stubborn dirt.
