The upkeep of your golf cart is an extremely important part of your golf game. Generally, golf courses have a dress code (not too dressy, but presentable, dressy-casual, and classy.) So, your golf cart needs to also fit the bill. Or, if you’re using your golf cart to get to one place to another in your community, you want it to look presentable to the public. Rolling around in a golf cart that is dirty, messy, and disheveled will create an unwanted look for you. Keeping your golf cart in tip-top shape is essential to preserve its appearance and to prolong the life of its machinery.
Cleaning a golf cart is very similar to cleaning a car; all you really need is soap and water, and a sponge, of course. But, since golf carts are typically much smaller and more open (no doors), the care you have to take increases when washing a golf cart versus a car. Just like a car, golf carts are usually covered in a clear finishing paint or covering. Bleach and ammonia mixtures can be just as harmful to this coating on the golf cart as they are on any other vehicle. Also, abrasive sponges can be damaging to the smooth surface of your golf cart. Using a rough, abrasive sponge or cloth can easily lead to many scratches all over the surface of your vehicle.
