The holidays are over. Now it's time to check the condition of your car or motorbike and put everything away. Find out here how to pamper your vehicle until the next holiday.

Car maintenance

The first thing to do is to check the fluid levels. This will prevent mechanical damage, breakdowns and possible accidents. It may be necessary to top up windscreen cleaner, coolant and even engine oil. If, during your holiday, you've needed the first-aid kit in the car, don't forget to replace what you've used. Also check the windscreen and windows for dents and scratches. You can use varnish to hide small scratches.

Motorcycle maintenance

If you have a motorbike, it's necessary to remove any grease or oil residue, particularly from the chain, and protect it from wear.

The battery charger gives you information on the battery's state of charge. What's more, today's models are equipped with programmes capable of seeing if the battery has a problem or is faulty - and charging it while being gentle on it. The charger can, in most cases, be left plugged in for varying lengths of time.

Care of accessories

You can use the lid cover to cover the roof box. The catches hold it in place. Store the roof box in the garage. The bike carrier can be stored in the Easy Fold carry bag and the bikes stored on their rack.

I draw inspiration and energy from nature – whether I'm hiking, skiing in the mountains or travelling to new places. I also have a passion for photography, music, TV series and good food.
