Everyone loves the look of a shiny, new car, but maintaining that pristine car exterior requires some effort. At Anderson Auto Body, we believe that with the right tips, you can keep your car looking brand new for years.
Regular Washing
The foundation of a great-looking car is regular washing. Dirt, grime, and road salt can damage your car’s paint if left unchecked. Aim to wash your car at least once a week using a mild car wash soap and a soft sponge or microfiber cloth. Clean your tires with a tire cleaner and a non-acid-based wheel cleaner to keep them looking new. Regularly vacuum and wipe down the interior surfaces to keep everything looking fresh. As an extension of washing, waxing adds a protective layer to your car’s paint, shielding it from UV rays and other contaminants.
Promptly Address Scratches and Chips
Even with the best care, minor scratches and chips are inevitable. Use touch-up paint to cover small scratches and chips. For deeper scratches or more significant damage, it’s best to consult a professional. Anderson Auto Body offers touch-up paint services in addition to dent repair that will ensure the paint adheres and finishes correctly.
Park Smart
Where you park your car can significantly impact its exterior condition. It is advisable to park in a garage or under a carport to protect your vehicle from the elements. Snow, rain, sun, and dust can all wear down your vehicle’s exterior over time. If covered parking isn’t an option, try to park in the shade to minimize sun exposure, or use a car cover. A car cover also eliminates the need for scraping ice, making the morning routine much quicker on particularly cold days.
