Recipe For Like-New Car| Serves 5 |A Scrub Down, Some TLC and a Set of Quality Car Mats

In January it was announced that the UK had managed to heave itself out of the recession, but the repercussions are still heavily felt. Our economy is still less than stable and it is prudent to remain cautious about our spending.

One of the greatest hit industries was car manufacture and trade. This prompted the government's Car Scrappage Scheme, under which around a third of a million cars were bought. But now that the incentive is no longer in place people are once again reluctant to purchase new cars.

New cars quickly depreciate in value. After just 3 years, the average car hatchback will drop to a third of its original price. The best thing to do if you have a post recession backlog is to make the most of your current vehicle and spend a little money and a little extra time on making it look and feel better.

If there are any niggling issues with your car, get them seen to. A squeaky fan belt or a rattling dashboard may be cheap and easy to fix and will make your journeys less stressful. It might seem simple, but many people underestimate the different that washing and polishing your car can make. A dusty windscreen with splattered bugs is unpleasant and it can affect your visibility.

The biggest difference you can make is to invest on the interior of your car. Thoroughly clean it, get rid of all the pay and display tickets in your door, any old travel sweets you've stashed away. Dust the dashboard and gearstick, open the doors and let it air out. Thoroughly clean your car mats or consider replacing them. If you only have universal car mats, it is best to spend a little extra on quality tailored car mats. Cheaper alternatives deteriorate quickly and can be difficult to clean. Tailored car mats can be bought for almost every car make and model and they can really give the interior a lift. Some companies that manufacture tailored car mats offer a variety of carpet colours and trims so that you can really personalise the feel of your car. If your car seats have taken a battering there are also tailored car seats out there on the market, although select the manufacturer carefully to ensure quality and to avoid making the interior look tacky.
