Avoid using ammonia-based cleaners on car touch screens, as they can damage their anti-glare coating.
ASK YOUR DEALERSHIP OR LOCAL AUTO SERVICE-RELATED BUSINESS Check with your local dealership, auto detailer, service center or car wash to see if they are offering any type of healthy vehicle program or proprietary product line that is designed to clean both the air and surfaces inside your vehicle. Even during stay-at-home orders, they may be offering mobile detailing or cleaning services to meet your needs. You can trust that your local auto business has strongly vetted any product that it offers, which can give you confidence in a healthier commute for you and your family.
