PCS Move from Fairchild AFB: Car Cleaning Checklist
How to clean, document and prepare your vehicle for a move.
How should I clean my car before a PCS move?
Wash the exterior, vacuum the interior, remove personal items and take dated photos of every side before the car is handed over. Then confirm fuel, personal-item and other requirements with your transportation office and shipper.
Checklist
- Wash and dry the car so existing dents and scratches are easy to see.
- Photograph all sides, the roof, wheels, interior and odometer, with the date on your photos.
- Remove personal items, loose change, documents and anything not secured.
- Vacuum the cabin, trunk and under the seats.
- Clean the glass inside and out.
- Confirm your shipper’s rules on fuel, spare keys and items in the car.
- Keep copies of your paperwork and condition report.
If you are selling instead
Many moving families sell a car before leaving. A thorough clean helps it sell faster, and it is easier to do before the move than during it. See our guide on how to prepare a car for sale.
When a detail saves time
A move already takes a lot of time. Mobile detailing means we come to your home or the lot, so you can spend your time on the move. Tell us your timeline and we will work around it.
