Tweet

 

There are a number of ways to keep your cars paint job looking like new. Here are a few tips for maintaining that new car shine!Whenever possible, protect your car from the elements. Any car detailing shop will tell you to park your car in a covered area. Any car that is exposed to sunlight and other environmental hazards on a daily basis will require significantly more cosmetic maintenance. Make a habit of detailing your car. In most cases, washing your car once a month is adequate. Although twice a week is preferable, and in some situations necessary to ensure minimum damage. Grease-cutting dish soaps damage your car's finish and should never be used to wash your car. The high PH content in the soap removes the wax, and harms the clear-coat finish of your car. Always use soaps that are specially formulated for cars.Always rinse your car before you wash it. If you get dirt and other particles caught in your sponge, it will scratch your finish while you are trying to wash it!Water spots are also an easily avoided problem. You simply dry your newly washed car with a damp chamois cloth, or a clean, damp towel. Use straight, even strokes covering the entire panel that you are drying. This will prevent the surface from becoming water-spotted.Always keep a good coat of wax on your car. It is very important to wax your car every time it is washed or detailed. Car waxes protect the finish of your car from sunlight, dirt, and other elements that, over time, do significant damage to your cars finish. For chips and scratched paint, the sooner you repair those problems the better! Prompt touch up jobs are important to prevent any paint blistering or surface rust.Check the hood, and front end of your car often for small dings and scratches. When it comes to quality car detailing, you can almost never be too thorough. Never use abrasive pads when you wash your car. Even on the wheels. Aluminum or magnesium sport wheels have a protective clear-coat finish that will be damaged if cleaned with even a semi abrasive scrub brush. When cleaning wheels, use a soft brush, and a non-caustic cleaner. Rust in your undercarriage can become a problem if not taken care of regularly. It is easy enough to do whenever you wash your car. Most automated car washes have an optional undercarriage pressure wash feature. This is recommended every time you wash your car.  These easy car detailing tips will help you keep your car's finish looking like new!
