 Clean and shine it
A good-looking car is perceived to run well,
too. A wax and vacuum job can do wonders; also,
clear out any old rags or tools that might lead the
buyer to envision a fragile machine. Clean the
windows and even deodorize the insides to free your
car from the scent of antique apple cores and
nervous puppies.
Often before even getting into the car comes the
infamous "look under the hood." Wipe up any oil or
radiator spills with a damp cloth. If it's really
messy in there, use a commercial degreaser
available at any auto supply store. Depending on
the kind of engine you have, you may need to first
protect some components by covering them with
plastic bags and tape. Check with the auto store to
be sure.
Keep in mind that too clean an engine might also
be cause for suspicion.
