How to Properly Clean Your Golf Cart

March 27, 2021

xrt1550sedieselMaintaining your golf cart comes with the task keeping it clean so that it remains in top-notch working condition. Routine golf cart cleaning will also wash away any signs of rusting or rotting so that your golf cart will last for a long time. Here are some tips to follow when it comes time to clean your golf cart.

Remember the Battery
It might not strike you as the first thing to clean on your golf cart, but it may be the most important. Battery connections can experience a buildup of dirt, grime and corrosion. Regular cleanings are fairly easy and can be done with baking soda and something with bristles, such as a toothbrush. Also, make sure no metal is contacting your terminals before cleaning as you want to always maintain safety first.

Go Soft On the Seats
Many golf carts are equipped with vinyl seats, which are not very difficult to clean. A combination of water and a mild soap should do the trick, but make sure not to use too much water and soak the seats. Doing so could cause water to settle inside the cushion and that could lead to a buildup of mildew, which will eventually destroy the seats. Golf carts that are equipped with seat covers can have those covers washed separately and some can also be machine washed. Follow the cleaning instructions accordingly.

Mind the Wiring
When cleaning the outside of your cart, it is important to keep water from getting into the electrical system. So just don’t spray the hose on full blast for extended spurts. Get familiar with your cart and look for any place where electrical components are exposed. Be cautious of any wiring and wash around those places very carefully. Soaking your wiring could lead to high and otherwise unnecessary repair bills.

Remember the Clear Coat
Golf carts are very similar to automobiles when it comes to cleaning as each are made with a protective clear coat on the exterior. What that essentially means is that owners should not use any abrasive cleaning products. Waxing is also recommended and it is important to use a brand of clear coat wax that will not damage the exterior surface.

Great place to get a golf cart.We went in expecting to be pressured, but that wasn't the case.We got the impression right away that they were not selling us anything, just trying to hook us up with the best golf cart that would fit us.We were in and out, and everything went very smooth.

We bought a used 2017 gas Yamaha. Pete Reynolds was excellent to work with. We were able to customize our cart to exactly how we wanted. We even supplied our old utility bed from our old cart. When it arrived I thought it was brand new. Pete and his crew go above and beyond in customer satisfaction. Would not think twice about purchasing a cart from here again or having them do any work on the cart.

The Sales Rep Pete was knowledgeable and what he didn't know I got answers for my Dad and I. We got what we asked for, plus.It was very busy, and there was a bit of a wait. But Pete was very quick, polite, and professional. It was a good day out with my 86 year old Dad.

We rented a golf cart for the long weekend and I can't say enough great things about Carolina Golf Cars. Easy to rent, great drop offpick up process, and an even better staff. It rained all weekend and when I called to book an extra day, Justin offered us the cart on them. We actually kept it two days longer than our agreement and could not be happier with the cart and customer service that was provided. Will 100 rent again

We have purchased two golf carts over 15 years and always been happy with the service. Last week Ed in parts went out of his way to help us with a spare tire. I would highly recommend Carolina golf carts for any golf cart needs

We purchased a new golf cart today. Pete worked with us and we were happy with the price as well as the price he gave us for our used cart, which we purchased from Pete as well several years ago. Pete has integrity and works hard to make you happy and meet your financial goals. When we need our third cart we will buy from Pete again. It is such a pleasure to purchase from them.
